Textile Product Technologist

Does your product look like it’s supposed to?

Do you recognise some of these costly problems?

• Samples miss deadlines
• QA feedback gets lost
• Supplier terms creep beyond plan
• Product data errors delay launch
• Ranges feel disconnected

These aren’t one-off issues. They’re signs of a missing role, a cross-functional operator who connects the dots between product vision and flawless execution.

Our candidate: A Product Technologist

We’re representing a Textile Product Technologist who’s worked across buying, QA, and merchandising, but more importantly, they know how to bring those pieces together to deliver products that perform. They:

• Own the critical path from sample to sign-off
• Negotiate directly with suppliers to meet margin and delivery needs
• Manage product data (SKUs, barcodes) with precision to avoid launch delays
• Align QA, styling, and photography so what’s sold reflects what’s imagined
• Conduct ongoing market analysis to ensure the range stays commercially competitive

Working style

• They’re the person your team can trust to spot issues before they spiral — detail-driven, commercially sharp, and calm under pressure.
• They speak the language of QA, buying, and ops — and know how to bring them together.

Availability & fit

• Based in the UK. Hybrid preferred, open to onsite where needed
• Available immediately
• Right to work in the UK, no sponsorship required

What they’re looking for

• They thrive in hands-on environments where product execution matters just as much as product design.
• They’re looking for a team that wants to tighten process, reduce margin waste, and deliver products that customers trust.

This is a confidential campaign.

If you’re seeing execution gaps and want to fix them before they get costly, we should talk.
