Job Description Overview
Realisation Par is looking for an experienced and highly technical Product Developer to bridge the gap between design and production. Working closely with the Design team, you will transform creative concepts into commercially viable garments through technical expertise, precision, and an exceptional understanding of garment construction, fit, fabrics, and manufacturing. This role requires a high level of construction knowledge, as well as attention to detail, ensuring all products reflect the aesthetic of the brand and quality of finish.

- Provide measurements, grading, and construction details to the factory to support their technical teams with amendments.
- Follow the critical path as directed and managed by the Head of Product, ensuring all milestones are achieved and proactively addressing risks to keep development on schedule.
- Manage the end-to-end product development process, working closely with suppliers and manufacturers from initial prototype through to pre-production.
- Coordinate sampling, track sample progress, and ensure timely approvals across all development stages.
- Research and source appropriate fabrics, trims, finishes, washes, and construction techniques that align with the design vision, quality standards, and target cost.
- Collaborate with the senior designer during development fittings to ensure correct execution, identify fit and construction issues, and provide clear, detailed technical comments to suppliers.
- Refine garment fit, construction, and finishing to ensure new products meet Realisation Par’s quality and aesthetic standards.
- Assist the Production Manager in refitting existing styles to perfect our ongoing range.
- Troubleshoot technical and production challenges while maintaining the integrity of the original design.
- You will manage, along with the Senior Designer, the workload of the Design and Development Coordinator to ensure they are supporting the team in the best way possible.
- Monitor product costs throughout development and identify opportunities to improve efficiency without compromising quality.
