You’ll manage product compliance, safety, and quality from concept through to customer use, working closely with Buying, Merchandising, and Design teams, as well as third-party suppliers.

What we’re looking for:

• Proven experience in technical roles within hard goods, homeware, or lifestyle categories
• Strong knowledge of product safety, quality, and legal compliance
• Confident communicator with excellent organisational and problem-solving skills
• Hands-on experience managing suppliers and outsourced production
• Familiar with sustainability, CSR, and ethical standards

As a freelancer you will receive a competitive day rate, paid weekly, alongside paid holiday entitlement and the opportunity to join a pension scheme.

This is a temporary opportunity, likely to be filled quickly — so apply today to avoid missing out!
