JUNIOR DESIGN SUPPORT

Scope of role:

As Graduate Design Team Support across both Acler and Significant Other, you will play a vital role in the day-to-day operations of our design rooms. This is a full-time support position focused on administration, organisation, and physical tasks — perfect for someone eager to learn the inner workings of a fast-paced fashion business from the ground up.

Reporting to the Head of Acler Design Team, you will work closely with both the Acler and Significant Other design teams, providing hands-on support to ensure the smooth and efficient execution of the design development process.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Studio & Physical Support

• Prepare and manage samples: steaming, counting, photographing, and documenting for internal and remote team use
• Mark off received submissions, tape pins, and prepare/label toiles for fittings
• Maintain a tidy and organised workspace: clear racks, manage fabric volumes, reorder materials as needed
• Assist with purchasing tools and collecting supplies (e.g. from fabric stores, local suppliers)
• Support on shoots: dressing models, steaming garments, taping shoes, and general set assistance
• Pack boxes and manage sample storage and filing
• Help manage inventory of design-related materials including trims, fabrics, and reference samples

2. Administrative & Operational Support

• Provide daily admin support to the Head of Design and Product Developer
• Assist with logistics including parcel bookings, tracking, and coordination
• Schedule meetings for design team members and external collaborators
• Take and distribute meeting notes, maintain clear record-keeping, and ensure timely follow-ups
• Assist in the preparation of handover packs for production and marketing teams
• Support with image edit instructions, reviews, and approvals
• Set up and maintain shared tools, trackers, and spreadsheets for efficient team operations

3. Design Process Assistance

• Provide light CADing support and assist in formatting line sheets and product overviews
• Help coordinate exclusive capsule presentations for key wholesale and D2C partners
• File and organise key submissions, design references, and development tools
• Offer ad hoc assistance to all members of the Acler and Significant Other design teams as needed

What We’re Looking For

• A self-starter with strong initiative and a willingness to get stuck into the less glamorous (but essential!) parts of the job.
• Excellent communication skills, attention to detail, and accountability for timelines and responsibilities.
• Strong memory and organisational skills — someone who can keep track of lots of moving pieces.
• Physically capable and comfortable working in a hands-on, fast-moving environment.
• A team player who is eager to be a reliable pillar of support to both design teams.

Please note:

This is not a design role, and no formal Fashion Design training is required. However, exposure to fashion, creative industries, or adjacent administrative roles is ideal.
