About Us
Henri-Lloyd is more than just an iconic British brand with over 60 years of pioneering spirit—it’s a company reimagining its future. Since joining Monte Rosa Sport Group in 2022, we’ve been rebuilding with the speed and ambition of a startup, fuelled by a passion for innovation, sustainability, and technical performance.
From the ocean to the street, we’re creating gear that performs in the toughest conditions—built on precision, purpose, and progress. This is your chance to help shape the future of a brand with a legacy, in a team where your craft truly matters.
The Role
We’re looking for a passionate, detail-driven Technical Product Developer with proven experience in both menswear and womenswear, preferably in performance or technical apparel.
You’ll play a vital role in bringing our seasonal collections to life—owning the development process from initial concept through to production-ready approval. You’ll be the link between design, product, and our global manufacturing partners—ensuring that every garment meets our high standards for fit, function, and performance.
Key Responsibilities
* Own and manage the full development lifecycle for assigned styles across menswear and womenswear, from initial handover to production sign-off
* Build and manage seasonal critical paths, ensuring key milestones are met on time for each round of development
* Collaborate closely with Design, Merchandising, and Production to translate creative vision into technically viable, scalable product
* Interpret tech packs and support the creation of clear, detailed specifications and construction methods
* Review and approve prototypes, SMS, PPS, and TOP samples—flagging issues and driving solutions around fit, function, and materials
* Liaise directly with suppliers and factories to ensure construction methods align with performance goals and brand standards
* Lead fit sessions, provide pattern and construction comments, and ensure consistency across size ranges
* Ensure products are developed with quality, durability, and sustainability in mind, in line with brand and market expectations
* Support testing processes (lab, field, wear tests) to validate performance and compliance
What You Bring
* Proven experience as a Technical Product Developer or Garment Technologist within a performance, outdoor, sportswear, or lifestyle apparel brand
* A strong background working across both menswear and womenswear categories
* Deep knowledge of garment construction, pattern cutting, and materials
* A hands-on approach to problem-solving and a sharp eye for detail
* Demonstrated ability to build out and manage seasonal critical paths
* Comfortable working in a fast-paced, iterative environment with multiple priorities
* Strong communication skills and the confidence to collaborate across teams and suppliers
* Proficiency in Excel and PLM systems (e.g., Illustrator, CLO 3D, or similar tools a bonus)
What Success Looks Like
* Products are delivered on time, aligned with the seasonal critical path and design vision
* Garments meet Henri-Lloyd’s technical, fit, and quality standards with minimal revisions in development rounds
* Strong collaboration is built with Design, Production, and Suppliers—keeping communication fluid and transparent
* Technical issues are solved early, thanks to your pattern, construction, and materials expertise
* You're the go-to for development clarity, driving efficiency without compromising on product integrity
What We Offer
* A competitive salary and benefits package
* A chance to grow with a business on the rise, where your work has real impact
* A collaborative, hands-on culture with a deep respect for craft and innovation
* A role that blends creativity, precision, and purpose—just like our product
