Job description

Junior Designer

LeMieux has an exciting opportunity for a Junior Designer looking for a new challenge in a fast-growing global equestrian company.

We have an ambitious vision and are looking to add to our 180-strong HQ team to achieve it. You’ll be working alongside our talented design team to achieve best-in-class product designs and ultimately, help make LeMieux the most exciting equestrian brand on the planet.

Role Overview:

We are seeking a passionate and versatile Junior Designer to join our growing team. This role is ideal for someone with broad design interests who is eager to contribute to various product categories. You will support the design team throughout the development process, from concept to production, gaining hands-on experience in multiple disciplines.

If you want to join a highly passionate and product-centric design team, we want to hear from you.

Key Responsibilities:

• Collaborate across departments and teams to develop exceptional products that meet our customers' needs.
• Own the design process, from conceptualisation to production sign-off, within your categories.
• Work to the critical path, ensuring deadlines are met and products are delivered on time.
• Be commercially minded when designing and bringing products to life.
• Pay meticulous attention to detail in all aspects of design.
• Stay up-to-date with industry trends and competitor offerings.

Suitable applicants will display the following skills and experience:

• Proven experience working as a Designer in a clothing-related field.
• Bachelor's degree in Fashion/Textile Design or equivalent industry experience.
• Proficiency in design software such as Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop.
• Exceptional communication skills with the ability to work within a team.
• Flexible and adaptable mindset.

LeMieux is an equestrian company; while beneficial, equestrian knowledge is not a prerequisite. We are looking for a team member who shows interest and willingness to learn about our exciting equine world, while bringing a fresh perspective on design possibilities.

Please note - this role is a site-based position at our purpose-built offices near Romsey in Hampshire. Candidates will be required to work in the office 5 days per week.

About us

LeMieux’s committed global trade and distribution network, vibrant customer and rider community, unrivalled technical expertise, and specialist colour flair have made our rapid growth possible. We think constantly about the horse and rider, solving their problems and improving their experiences, applying exacting standards to all our products and practices. We’re strengthened by our diverse talents, with innovation at the heart of our global network, led from our purpose-built HQ on the edge of the New Forest.

Life at LeMieux

Overview

At LeMieux, we’re all equestrians, whether we ride or not. Hard graft is part and parcel of life with horses, and this ethos drives everything we do. If you share our energy, grit, determination, and passion to get things done, you’ll fit right in.

We’re growing fast. Are you motivated by new experiences, ready to try new things and excited by change?

We’re looking for exceptional people with diverse talents who are ready to immerse themselves in our unique world. You’ll need to chase innovation, trade in ideas, be exacting about detail, share your journey, and obsess about inspiring our global community of riders and their horses.
