[Hiring] Fashion Designer & Product Developer @Hunt St

Role Description

We're looking for a Fashion Designer & Product Development Support Assistant to join a growing product team and provide hands-on support across both design and garment development.

• This is a mid-level support role designed to assist experienced designers rather than operate as a standalone designer.
• You'll help manage the team's workload by preparing design assets, updating technical documentation, and supporting product development from concept through to production.
• The position is entirely internal-facing, with no customer interaction or video call responsibilities.
• Success in this role comes from being organised, adaptable, and comfortable switching between creative, technical, and administrative tasks as business needs evolve.

Design Support

• Prepare CAD boards based on design briefs.
• Apply colourways, trims, graphics, and design features to garment concepts.
• Update and revise designs based on internal feedback.
• Create presentation-ready design layouts using Adobe Illustrator.
• Organise and maintain design files and artwork libraries.

Product Development Support

• Prepare and update technical packs using existing templates.
• Assist with garment specifications, construction details, and points of measure.
• Ensure product documentation is accurate and up to date.
• Support product revisions throughout the sampling and production process.

Cross-Functional Support

• Assist both the Design and Garment Technical teams as required.
• Provide coverage during planned leave or unexpected absences within the product team.
• Support multiple projects simultaneously while maintaining accuracy and deadlines.

Business Support Projects

• During quieter periods, you'll also contribute to projects such as:
• Factory and supplier research.
• Organising and cataloguing design assets.
• Improving internal documentation and file management.
• Supporting other product-related initiatives across the business.

Qualifications

• Previous experience in a Fashion Design, Garment Design, or Product Development Support role.
• Strong proficiency in Adobe Illustrator.
• Good working knowledge of Microsoft Excel.
• Experience creating or updating CAD drawings.
• Understanding of garment technical packs and product documentation.
• Ability to accurately interpret design briefs and implement revisions.
• Excellent organisational skills with strong attention to detail.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
• Self-motivated with the initiative to identify opportunities to contribute beyond assigned tasks.

Requirements

• Experience preparing garment construction details.
• Understanding of garment measurements and points of measure (POM).
• Exposure to apparel manufacturing or production processes.
• Experience supporting both design and garment technical teams.
• Experience with supplier or factory sourcing.

Benefits

• This is an opportunity to work with a collaborative product development team where your contributions directly support the creation of new products from concept through production.
• If you enjoy combining creativity with technical precision, thrive in a dynamic environment, and are eager to expand your experience across both design and product development, this role offers a rewarding opportunity to make an impact behind the scenes.

Work Arrangement & Expectations

• This is a remote role that will be set up as an independent contractor engagement.
• To ensure alignment and transparency, successful candidates will be expected to:
• Disclose any existing ongoing roles or client work.
• Reflect this engagement on their LinkedIn profile (clearly marked as “Independent Contractor”).
