• Designing and developing innovative, trend-driven graphics for apparel collections across major leagues and brands.

• Preparing accurate artwork specs and ensuring smooth handover to production.
• Managing league approvals for your designs and ensuring compliance with licensing requirements, ensuring all graphic artwork complies with IP and copyright requirements.
• Driving new product opportunities both within your business group and supporting external initiatives that come via the new business pipeline.
• Bringing a solutions-focused mindset to design challenges and approvals.
• Spotting new opportunities for product and design innovation that keep us ahead of the market.
• Collaborating with internal teams, licensors, and external vendors to deliver outstanding product.

You’ll thrive in this role if you are:

• A graphic designer with 8+ years’ experience in apparel, licensing, or product development and a tertiary qualification in Graphic Design or similar.
• A folio that showcases both creativity and commercial sensibility.
• Skilled in Adobe Creative Suite.
• Confident in technical print and application techniques (screen print, embroidery, trims, etc.).
• Experienced in working with licensing, approvals, and trend translation.
• Organised, detail-focused, and able to juggle deadlines without losing your creative spark.
• A natural collaborator who enjoys being part of a passionate and high-performing team.
