Are you a visionary design leader who still loves being hands-on with the creative process? Do you thrive on building inspiring collections while leading and mentoring a talented design team?
A leading women's fashion brand with a strong retail footprint and loyal customer following is looking for an exceptional Head of Design to lead the next chapter of its creative evolution. This is a rare opportunity to step into a pivotal leadership role within a well-established brand known for its contemporary aesthetic, elevated everyday style, and strong presence both in-store and online.
About the Role
As Head of Design, you will lead the end-to-end creative direction across all collections while remaining actively involved in the design process. This is a role for someone who loves being "on the tools" sketching, concepting, reviewing fabrics, and shaping the product from initial inspiration through to final execution.
You will inspire and mentor a high-performing design team while working closely with buying, merchandising, and product teams to ensure collections are both creatively exciting and commercially successful. With a large store footprint and a fast-moving retail environment, you'll play a critical role in setting the seasonal vision, driving innovation, and ensuring the brand continues to resonate with its customer.
What You'll Be Doing
* Leading the creative direction and seasonal design strategy across multiple collections
* Remaining hands-on in the design process from concept through to final product
* Mentoring and inspiring a talented team of designers
* Driving trend direction, fabric selection, colour palettes and silhouette development
* Collaborating closely with buying, merchandising and product teams to ensure strong commercial outcomes
* Maintaining and evolving the brand DNA while pushing creative boundaries
* Ensuring collections are aligned with market trends, customer insights and brand positioning
What We're Looking For
* Proven experience as a Head of Design within women's fashion
* Strong leadership experience managing and developing creative teams
* A true hands-on designer who enjoys being involved in the detail.
* Deep understanding of contemporary womenswear, trends and global market
* Strong commercial awareness and experience designing for a retail-driven business
* Passion, energy and the ability to inspire those around you
This is an incredible opportunity for a creative leader who wants to make a real impact within a highly recognised fashion brand while continuing to do what they love most designing beautiful collections.
If you're ready to lead, inspire and shape the future of a growing brand, we would love to hear from you. Please send your CV and portfolio to nicoleg@tshr.com.au
