• Translate consumer insights, market trends, brand direction, and commercial objectives into compelling jewellery collections.
• Develop designs across fine, demi-fine, and fashion jewellery categories while maintaining a strong and consistent design language.
• Create and review design concepts, ensuring strong aesthetics, wearability, functionality, manufacturability, and commercial viability.
• Work closely with merchandising, product development, sourcing, manufacturing, and other cross-functional teams to take designs from concept to production.
• Ensure designs are aligned with target price points, cost considerations, quality standards, and expected sell-through.
• Guide the team on design development, provide regular feedback, and maintain high creative standards.
• Mentor and develop junior designers while managing timelines and design priorities.
• Review CADs, technical details, samples, and production outputs to ensure design intent is maintained.
• Track emerging jewellery, fashion, cultural, and consumer trends to identify new design opportunities.
• Build strong design processes and improve the speed, quality, and consistency of collection development.
• Contribute to seasonal and strategic collection planning based on business and consumer needs. What We’re Looking For
• 8–12 years of experience in fine, demi-fine, or fashion jewellery design.
• Strong understanding of jewellery design, materials, construction, proportions, and manufacturing processes.
• Proven experience in developing jewellery collections from concept to production.
• Strong portfolio demonstrating original design thinking and commercial jewellery collections.
• Experience working with CAD and jewellery design technology.
• Strong understanding of tech packs, specifications, costing, and production requirements.
• Ability to balance creativity with commercial and operational considerations.
• Strong communication, collaboration, and stakeholder management skills.
• Experience mentoring or managing a small team of designers.
