Product Developer Knitwear

Location: Lijnden

Join to apply for the  Product Developer Knitwear  role at  Just Brands - Fashion & Retail

Do you have a sharp eye for detail, love good quality, and know your way around knitwear? Then you might be just who we’re looking for!

As our Product Developer Knitwear, you’ll turn creative ideas into real pieces — developing commercial knitwear styles that look great, fit well, and meet our design, quality, and margin goals. You’ll work closely with designers, product developers, and suppliers to make sure each style reaches its best potential.

You bring a mix of technical know-how, a strong sense of fashion, and good commercial thinking. Throughout development, you’ll review fit, check for production and costing risks, and make sure the details are right — both technically and visually. You’ll keep our PLM system up to date so suppliers have everything they need, and you’ll work with them to find smart solutions that balance design, cost, and quality.

Good planning and time management are key in this role. You know how to keep things moving, set priorities, and stay focused on quality.

You’re naturally curious about the knitwear world, keeping your finger on the pulse of new materials, stitches, and techniques — and you bring your knitwear passion to your work every day.
