Senior Womenswear Designer

Senior Womenswear Designer | Athleisure Brand | North West | £45,000 - £55,000

This role is about more than designing activewear, it's about defining a uniform for the everyday. The effortlessly chic, athleisure loving consumer. We're creating product for the woman who wants to feel strong, confident, comfortable, and effortlessly styled, every single day. If you are obsessed with womenswear athleisure, driven to build culturally relevant product, and ready to help define the cool-girl uniform of the future, we would love to hear from you!

As we scale toward becoming a globally recognised womenswear performance brand, the opportunity is to establish the hero pieces and signature silhouettes that the brand becomes known for. The leggings that fit perfectly and become a repeat purchase. The sculpting jacket she styles for work and the studio. The co-ord she wears on rotation because it makes her feel confident and elevated.

You will help answer the key questions: What does the modern woman reach for every single day? How do we balance technical performance with elevated minimalism? How do we create bestsellers that compete with aspirational global brands?

Working closely with senior leadership, product development, and materials teams, you will help shape seasonal collections and core continuity lines that drive both brand desirability and commercial growth. This is a rare opportunity to influence the long-term design codes of a scaling brand and to put your handwriting on the product that defines the brands future.
