3 weeks ago

Devon, United Kingdom Saltrock Head Office Full time

Does
working for a Brand like ours excite you? If so, becoming part of the Saltrock
family and being based in North Devon could be part of your next
adventure



For
over 30 years, Saltrock; a British, coastal, lifestyle brand, has had holiday,
family, spirt and fun at its heart. Our inspiration flows from land and sea,
waves and coastline. Designed in the South West since 1988 we have grown into a
loved Devon brand known for its iconic print designs.



The Head of Design plays a crucial role in Saltrocks
Product strategy, driving the success of all categories through effective trend
building, strategic planning and range building.

As a hands-on Head of Design, you'll lead and grow a team
of talented Designers. You will lead the product strategy for all categories and
work collaboratively with all departments to deliver a commercial and trend-led
range that is loved by our Saltrock customer.


You will be collaborative, organised, and strategic. Contribute to design
direction and ensure that product design is aligned to the strategic vision.



What you will bring on the journey…


  • Work collaboratively with colleagues across Buying, Merchandising and Brand
    Marketing to create seasonal ranges, collectively carving out the concept and
    direction of each season for all categories.
  • Set the departmental critical path, not only
    understanding the impact for Design, but cross-functionally with other internal
    stakeholders (Buying, Merchandising and Marketing).
  • Ensure that the design team is aligned with the business
    goals and the product design direction is consistent with Saltrock's brand
    identity, values, and target audience. 
  • Overseeing range development, ensuring that the product reflects the Brand &
    Product strategy, the range is without gaps or duplication, and that the season
    is logically and commercially thought through.
  • Ability to trade in season, executing smaller collections
    to be reactive.
  • Identifying new product opportunities as they emerge in
    the market and actioning those in the range in a commercial manner.
  • Manage the process of creating a balanced range, developing key seasonal shapes
    and trends while keeping our customer at the forefront of your mind.
  • Collaborate across departments and functions of the business including Creative
    & Marketing, to ensure the design vision is communicated clearly.
  • Shaping and driving lean, agile processes within the
    Design process.
  • A strong understanding of our competitors’ product offer
    to pivot team activity and manage risks, as required.
  • Providing clear direction and development to the team, identifying individual
    training needs and encouraging collaborative ways of working.
  • Motivating and engaging the team through recognition and
    regular feedback.
