Senior Designer – Alan Paine Limited

Alan Paine Limited, a heritage knitwear and lifestyle brand renowned for its craftsmanship and timeless British style, is seeking a talented Senior Designer to join our creative team.

Role Overview:

You will lead the design and development of seasonal collections, ensuring they reflect our brand DNA while innovating for new markets. Working closely with the Product Development and Merchandising teams, you will create compelling designs and oversee the process from concept to final sample.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead the creation of seasonal knitwear and apparel collections.
  • Develop trend-led but brand-appropriate designs, mood boards, and colour palettes.
  • Working with the technical team to generate tech packs but not a main requirement.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to meet deadlines and commercial objectives.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
