Job description

Help build outerwear that performs, from first idea to final delivery.

At Just Brands, we build menswear brands with character. PME Legend, Cast Iron and Vanguard each have their own voice, their own audience, and their own place in the market. In outerwear, strong product needs more than a good idea. It needs sharp development, strong supplier collaboration and smart commercial decisions from start to finish. When that process runs well, collections land better, margins stay healthy and the business moves stronger.

But what really sets us apart is how we work together.

We’re a team-first business. No ego, no unnecessary layers, no endless talking, no corporate theatre. We back each other, speak up, take ownership and keep pushing for better. We work hard, stay sharp and make sure there’s room to enjoy the ride too.

That’s what fuels your tank.

Why this role matters

This is where product development and buying meet real commercial impact. As our Outerwear Developer / Buyer, specialized in outerwear, you help make sure outerwear styles move smoothly through the full product lifecycle, from development and costing to buying and production follow-up. You keep quality, timing and margin aligned so that strong collections can be delivered the right way. You are not here to just manage the process.

You are here to make sure our outerwear lands right — in quality, timing and margin.

What you’ll do

• Manage assigned outerwear styles from development through production;
• Support costing, price negotiations and margin follow-up;
• Coordinate with suppliers to make sure timelines, quality and delivery targets are met;
• Monitor the critical path and solve operational bottlenecks along the way;
• Work closely with Design, Sourcing and Logistics to keep execution smooth;
• Contribute to continuous improvement in product quality, fit and sustainability.

What makes this role exciting

• You work on a category where product decisions are highly visible;
• You combine development, buying and commercial impact in one role;
• You work closely with suppliers and internal teams across the full lifecycle;
• You play a key role in a small team with real ownership;
• You help shape collections that need to perform both creatively and commercially.

You’ll probably love this role if you…

• like being hands-on across the full product process;
• enjoy balancing quality, timing and margin;
• get energy from solving issues before they become delays;
• prefer practical ownership over endless discussion;
• want to work in a role where detail and commercial instinct both matter.

What you bring

• Several years of experience in product development and/or buying within fashion;
• A strong technical understanding of outerwear construction and materials;
• A commercial mindset with awareness of costing and margin impact;
• The ability to manage multiple deadlines and production calendars;
• A hands-on, proactive and solution-oriented way of working;
• Solid experience across the product process in a commercially driven fashion environment.

What Just Brands is really like

We are ambitious, but grounded. We care about quality, and we are confident in what we build. No ego. We move fast, but we do it together. That’s the Just Brands rhythm.

You’ll Join a Company Where

• People help each other out;
• Ideas and people matter more than job titles;
• Hard work matters, and so does enjoying the ride;
• If something can be better, we improve it.

What you get

You step into a role with direct impact on product quality, timing and commercial performance. As part of a small, high-impact team, you\'ll help shape stronger outerwear collections.

• Salary depending on experience and background;
• End-of-year bonus equal to one gross monthly salary;
• Healthy and varied lunch every day;
• (our own) Gym access including classes (boxing, yoga and padel);
• Parties and drinks that will be talked about for years to come;
• Staff discount on our clothing.
