Job description

Stylish, grounded, uplifting - these values live through everything we do at Boden. Without the collaboration, honesty and friendship between our teams, we wouldn't be where we are today. We curate a world of beauty that's ethical, inclusive - and importantly - good fun. We inspire you to live your best life. We are Boden.

Location : 4 days per week at our North Acton office. Overview

As a Textile Designer, you'll take full ownership of your categories, leading the design process from initial concept through to production and fit. You'll play a key role in supporting senior designers, bringing the wider team together, and mentoring Design Admin Assistants and Junior Designers.

You'll collaborate closely with product teams to develop creative yet commercially successful ranges, with a strong understanding of trends, trading performance, fabric options, and margin targets, ensuring balanced and well-rounded collections.

What You Will Do

  • Design unique, innovative ranges that align with the seasonal strategy and resonate with the Boden customer.
  • Gather inspiration from a wide range of sources to create original, distinctive designs
  • Apply a strong eye for colour, print, and overall design across collections
  • Present design work and ranges regularly to senior partners
  • Edit ideas with precision, solve problems independently, and critically evaluate your work
  • Create detailed technical CAD drawings and development / artwork packs
  • Take responsibility for key deadlines, maintaining the critical path and ensuring timely delivery across your team
  • Participate in product approvals from early development through to final production
  • Ensure all design work reflects Boden's brand values and keeps the customer front of mind
  • Confidently manage PLM systems, including uploading tech packs, BOMs, and colour data
  • Lead fit sessions and make clear, informed decisions during the process
  • Stay up to date with the market through regular competitor reviews and inspirational shopping trips

What We Are Looking For

  • Professional textile design experience
  • A brilliant eye for colour, print, and design, with a clear understanding of what makes a product feel uniquely Boden
  • CAD skills - experience using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop to create accurate, production-ready work
  • A strong understanding of the market, with excellent knowledge of competitors and aspirational brands
  • A degree in Fashion Design, Print, Illustration or Textiles (BA Hons or equivalent)
  • Experience working with PLM systems (preferred but not essential)
