Our Harrods Own Label team are seeking a dynamic and innovative Print Designer.

This role involves the research, design, and delivery of exceptional print concepts for our products and packaging, aligning with our department strategy and key deadlines.

About the Role

In this role you will be responsible for playing a crucial role in shaping our print strategy, ensuring collections are innovative, market-leading, and aligned with seasonal trends.

1. Create innovative, premium-quality print designs for products and packaging, drawing on global trends and customer insights.
2. Demonstrate expertise in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign) with strong skills in layout, retouching, and digital asset creation.
3. Collaborate with Designers, Buyers, and Technologists to ensure right-first-time, commercially impactful designs.
4. Manage projects efficiently, meeting deadlines while upholding industry best practices.
5. Shape seasonal print strategies, identify emerging trends, and develop mood boards to guide design direction.

This position requires a proactive problem solver with a keen eye for detail, exceptional creativity, and strong organizational skills.

1. In-depth understanding of the bridge/luxury retail landscape.
2. High level of creativity, innovation, and taste.
3. Strong leadership and organizational skills with a flexible, solution-oriented approach.
4. Confident in challenging the status quo and advocating for design excellence.
5. Positive, can-do attitude with strong stakeholder management and influencing abilities.
