Product Developer – Accessories

Sale

£35,000 – £37,000

Are you a creative powerhouse with at least 5 years of product development experience? Fancy working in a fast-paced, trend-driven environment where your ideas help bring exciting accessories, footwear, and apparel to life for top UK brands?

We’re looking for a Product Developer to join a Manchester-based design and development hub, collaborating with around 40 leading brands (think premium lifestyle and sportswear labels). Accessories experience is a plus – but not essential. Your talent for developing standout product is what really matters.

What you’ll do:

• Take the lead in seasonal development meetings, helping bring new ranges and ideas to life.
• Source and develop fabrics, trims, and branding with an eye on style and practicality.
• Work closely with customers to ensure products meet their vision and specifications.
• Manage the journey from concept to bulk production, liaising with factories, technologists, and customers.
• Keep an eye on deadlines, pricing, quality, and compliance while maintaining a creative edge.
• Present fresh ideas to wow clients and support the sales process.

You’ll need:

• Minimum 5 years in product development (fashion/product creativity counts more than accessories experience).
• A creative flair and strong fashion sense, combined with the ability to think commercially.
• Confidence in presenting samples and communicating with customers at all levels.
• Experience developing products with overseas factories and seeing them through to production.
• Strong Excel skills; Adobe Illustrator experience is a bonus.
• Organised, proactive, and trend-savvy with a passion for developing awesome products.

If you love turning ideas into real, sellable products and want to work with some of the UK’s coolest brands, this is your next big move.
