Why join us

When you join our design team at Sainsbury's, you become an integral part of our mission to deliver on our 'brands that deliver' strategy. As passionate individuals who are dedicated to making a positive impact on our customers, colleagues, and environment, we work collaboratively to create attractive, trend-driven clothing options that align with our values and exceed customer expectations. Your role as a Designer will involve shaping and delivering design strategies, identifying commercial opportunities, and ensuring the seamless development and launch of products. With our flexible working policy, we prioritise work-life balance, giving you the freedom to optimise your hours and unleash your creativity while making a difference in the retail industry. Join us in our values-driven culture and be part of a team where your potential is valued and nurtured.

What you'll do

You will play a crucial role in delivering our Category Design Strategy and ensuring that Tu clothing remains relevant and appealing to our customers. Working within the guidelines of the Tu Brand handwriting, you will be responsible for the development and delivery of design strategies for a given category, as well as owning your own category development when appropriate. Your responsibilities will include creating mood boards, design themes, and supporting the delivery of macro and category trends. You will identify new commercial product opportunities aligned with category and marketing growth plans, and design commercial and competitive product ranges tailored to key customer profiles. Additionally, you will collaborate with suppliers to achieve optimum product cost through effective design and engineering, and oversee the product development process from concept design to launch. Your role will involve liaising with various teams, such as Product Technologists and Buyers, to ensure quality standards, cost targets, and critical path targets are met. As a champion for sustainability, you will incorporate sustainable practises in both how we work and the products we deliver. To excel in this role, you should have experience in retail, specifically in clothing, jewellery, or watches markets, and possess strong commercial awareness. You should be knowledgeable about product design and development in the retail industry, with technical expertise in clothing and manufacturing processes. Proficiency in computer software such as Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop is essential, and you should demonstrate strategic thinking and customer-centric decision-making. Above all, you should exemplify positive leadership behaviours and thrive in a values-driven culture that encourages colleagues to be themselves and achieve their full potential.

Who you are

You are a passionate and creative individual dedicated to delivering our 'brands that deliver' strategy. With expertise in trend analysis and product development within the retail sector, particularly in clothing, jewellery, and watches markets, you possess a strong commercial awareness and a strategic mindset. Your technical knowledge of manufacturing processes and experience working with suppliers enables you to design and develop compelling products that drive growth and meet customer expectations. With proficiency in design software and the ability to think strategically while putting the customer at the heart of decision-making, you excel in creating innovative and sustainable solutions. As a role model for positive leadership, you thrive in a values-driven culture, contributing to our commitment to creating a great work-life balance and supporting the professional growth and potential of our colleagues.

We are committed to being a truly inclusive retailer, so you’ll be welcomed whoever you are and wherever you work. Around her
