• Leading end-to-end product development across multiple seasons, from concept and briefing to final production sign-off.

• Working closely with Design, Product Management, Technical, and Sourcing teams to translate creative direction into commercially viable product solutions.

• Managing critical paths and ensuring all development stages are delivered on time, to spec, and within agreed cost targets.

• Driving material, construction, trim and fit decisions, ensuring product performance, quality and sustainability standards are met.

• Working with suppliers and factories to resolve technical challenges, ensure manufacturability, and continuously improve product efficiencies.

• Leading sample management, fit sessions, wear testing feedback and product validation.

• Providing coaching and guidance to junior developers, helping build capability and consistent ways of working.

• Monitoring competitor product, industry trends, innovations and sustainability improvements to support future-thinking product creation.

• Managing development documentation, BOMs, prototypes, approvals and all product data in line with internal processes.

• Supporting seasonal costing reviews and margin targets by collaborating with sourcing and commercial teams.
