About the Role
Our client offers a unique opportunity to shape the future visual identity and collection strategy for two iconic global names: Ed Hardy and AND1.
They are now looking for a creative, organised and motivated Junior Designer to join their Manchester-based Design team.

- CADs & Tech Packs: Create and update garment CADs, colourways, artwork files and technical packs.
- Product Development: Support the sampling and development process, working closely with the Design team and Product Development team in China.
- Range Development: Assist with seasonal ranges, colour palettes, fabrics, trims and presentation materials.
- Brand Understanding: Develop a strong understanding of Ed Hardy and AND1, ensuring product remains authentic to each brand while feeling relevant to today's consumer.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work together with creative, commercial, and operational teams across our global offices to bring cohesive collections from concept to consumer.
