This is a unique opportunity to join ASOS Brands in a specialist role that sits at the intersection of product innovation, digital development and fit excellence.

As a Digital Clothing Technologist within ASOS Brands you’ll play a key role in shaping how our product fits, feels and performs for our customers. Working closely with Product Technical Design, Fabric and Buying teams you’ll lead the development and implementation of our 3D fitting strategy ensuring ASOS remains at the forefront of virtual fit innovation and block development. You’ll support the Head of Technical in driving key KPIs such as block implementation and right‑first‑time sealing hit rate while owning the ASOS block library and grading rules.

Your work will directly impact product consistency, customer satisfaction and return reduction across the ASOS brand portfolio.

Its a rhythm that speeds up decision‑making, helps ASOSers learn from each other more quickly and builds the kind of culture where people can grow, create and succeed.
