The hire underscores the brand's continued investment in creative talent and its commitment to driving trend-led innovation across its product ranges.

Based at FatFace's Havant headquarters, the role will operate under a hybrid working model, with the successful candidate spending three days a week in the office collaborating with garment designers, buyers, and print specialists.

This includes access to THRIVE, the brand's learning management system, enhanced family-friendly policies, flexible working arrangements from day one, and a range of financial and health-related perks, from pension schemes to free period products and 24/7 employee assistance support.
