What we're looking for

5+ years in sneaker/footwear design, with a portfolio proving creative and technical range
Experienced taking your own designs through full development and sampling

The role

ALOHAS is more than a fashion brand - it's a case for slow fashion, in an industry built on more. It's an opportunity to take part in the fight against overproduction.

What you'll do

Shape and evolve the ALOHAS sneaker category. Working closely with the Head of Design, merchandising team, Head of Product and the CEO, you will turn seasonal concepts and briefs into distinctive, on-brand sneaker designs - owning the process from concept through development.

Lead sneaker design from brief to final product, developing proportions, construction, materials and colourways true to ALOHAS DNA
Drive development and sampling with Product Development, suppliers and factories, solving fit and construction issues along the way
Produce tech packs and technical drawings, giving clear direction to Product Development and suppliers
Research sneaker culture, materials and trends, translating them through an ALOHAS lens
Manage multiple projects independently across Design, Product Development, Merchandising and Sourcing
