Production and Product Development Assistant
Be integral in keeping offshore production on track, to spec, and documented. Enjoy huge variety; assist to create garment & product specifications, packaging artwork, coordinate with factories & more

Thrive in a role where your creative eye and organisational skills come together. As Assistant to the Production team, you’ll be integral in keeping offshore production on track, to spec, and documented. Appreciate working for an award-winning business recognised for its sustainable approach.
Day-to-day, you’ll create range boards, garment and product specifications, and packaging artwork, plus coordinate with factories and manage production samples. Maintain colour and print libraries and ensure barcodes, stickers, and swing-tags are ready to go. Enjoy juggling multiple projects and stages while ensuring every detail is covered.
Need flexibility? This role can be full-time or part-time (e.g. three days or school hours), and can include some evening hours from home to align with offshore time zones. We’re open to how that might look.
You bring:
A product development or garment tech background, so you understand how ideas become finished goods
Forward-thinking and organised to spot what’s needed next and get ahead of it
Sharp attention to detail, knowing small misses can create big issues later, so you keep to the process
Clear, practical communication with suppliers, keeping expectations and timelines aligned
Urgency and comfort working at pace, though you’re calm and pivot when priorities shift
Collaborative, you muck in with the team and pick things up wherever needed
Confidence using tools like Illustrator or Photoshop, plus solid Excel basics and familiarity with Adobe Suite
Ideally, have an idea of garment fabrication, fit and construction
