The Role
We're looking for a dependable, detail-oriented and technically strong Fashion Designer & Merchandiser to work closely with the founder in developing products from concept to production.
This is not a conventional fashion design role centred around seasonal collections or trend forecasting. At Soham Dave, design evolves through textiles, craftsmanship, garment construction, fit and continuous product development. You'll work closely with the founder to understand the brand's design language while contributing across every stage of the design and development process.
Over time, as you become familiar with our aesthetics, materials and way of working, you'll have the opportunity to contribute more actively towards product development and capsule collections within the brand's design language.
What we're looking for
- 3–4 years of experience in Fashion Design, Product Development or Fashion Merchandising
- A strong understanding of textiles, traditional craft techniques and garment construction
- Good understanding of patterns, fit, sampling and production processes
- Experience in product development and preparing technical specifications/tech packs
- Good spoken and written English
- Strong organisational skills with exceptional attention to detail
- Working knowledge of MS Excel and Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop
- A collaborative mindset with the willingness to learn, contribute and grow
Work Environment
- Collaborative, design-focused studio
- Positive and respectful work culture
- Stable role with long-term scope
- Safe and supportive workspace for women
If you enjoy developing thoughtful products, appreciate craftsmanship, and take pride in getting the details right, we'd love to hear from you.
