Beginning Boutique is where big nights, best friends, and main-character outfits begin. They design for the moments their customers can't wait to post, tag, and remember — and they take just as much pride in how they work together behind the scenes.
 
We're hiring a Designer for their Brisbane team to help shape the next chapter of our product. This is a hands-on, fast-moving role for someone who lives and breathes trends, but knows how to turn them into pieces that actually sell.
 
You'll sit at the intersection of creativity and commerciality, working closely with Buying, Product Development, Planning, and Creative to deliver product our customer is obsessed with.
 
 
THE ROLE
As Designer, you'll be responsible for creating trend-led, commercially strong styles that elevate the Beginning Boutique brand. You'll own designs from concept through to handover, translating trends, data, and customer insight into collections that drive excitement, margin, and repeat customers.
 
This role is ideal for a designer who's confident in their point of view, thrives in a high-volume environment, and loves collaborating to make great product even better.
 
 
WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING:
 
Trend & market research

• Stay tapped into trends across TikTok, Instagram, influencers, runway, street style, and competitors
• Build and present monthly and seasonal trend decks to Buyers and leadership
• Analyze bestsellers weekly to spot winning silhouettes, fabrics, and details
• Identify missed opportunities and propose fast-turn design ideas
• Create cohesive mood boards and design stories that resonate with the BB customer
• Balance proven core styles with fresh, forward silhouettes that push the brand

Design & product creation

• Design original, trend-driven styles across your assigned categories each month
• Create sketches, CADs, and partial tech packs for Product Development
• Design or brief prints, placement graphics, motifs, and recolors
• Design into approved fabric platforms with cost, quality, and brand in mind
• Partner with Buyers to ensure designs hit commercial, pricing, and margin targets
• Keep designs aligned with BB's increasingly elevated, aspirational direction

Cross-functional collaboration

• Work closely with Buying to build monthly ranges and meet deadlines
• Partner with Product Development on samples, fit sessions, and execution
• Collaborate with Planning to understand investment and performance opportunities
• Support Creative and Marketing with styling direction and design-led storytelling
• Provide product info packs to Customer Care to help deliver an exceptional customer experience

Product development support

• Review samples for print scale, color accuracy, and overall execution
• Provide clear, annotated feedback and updated CADs
• Participate in fit sessions to ensure design intent is met
• Keep all design documentation accurate and on time

Brand & customer focus

• Design with the 18-24 customer front and center
• Translate brand values into cohesive, aspirational product
• Contribute to improvements in fit, quality, and consistency
• Design responsibly, avoiding direct copies and prioritizing originality

 
 
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR:

• 3-6 years' experience in fashion or apparel design
• Experience in a fast-paced, high-volume or eCommerce environment
• Strong trend forecasting skills across digital and global sources
• Advanced Adobe Illustrator skills and strong CAD capability
• Solid understanding of garment construction, fit, fabrics, and trims
• Experience working closely with Buying, Product Development, and technical teams
• Ability to design within cost and margin parameters
• Experience designing for young women's fashion (18-24 preferred)
• Exposure to offshore sampling and supplier communication
• Experience with prints, recolors, or artwork briefing
• Understanding of sustainability considerations in fabric or material selection

 
 
YOU'LL THRIVE HERE IF YOU'RE:

• Trend-obsessed but commercially sharp
• Proactive and quick to spot what's next
• Collaborative, confident, and open to feedback
• Detail-oriented and highly organized
• Solutions-focused and resilient
• Passionate about building product that elevates the brand
• A true team player who shows up and follows through

 
 
WHY BEGINNING BOUTIQUE?
We're serious about product, but we don't take ourselves too seriously. You'll be surrounded by people who care deeply about the customer, push boundaries, support each other, and genuinely love what they do. If you want to design product that customers can't wait to wear — and work in a culture that backs you to grow — this could be your place.
