Chief Product Officer - Apparel
Hybrid, London
Competitive salary + LTIP
We’re partnering with an internationally scaling, apparel brand to appoint a Chief Product Officer.
This is a rare opportunity to join a high-growth brand at a pivotal stage in its journey. With strong momentum, a highly engaged customer base and ambitious global plans, the business is now looking for a senior product leader who can shape the next chapter of growth through product excellence.
This is not a narrow product role. It is a strategic, commercially important leadership position with real influence across the business. The Chief Product Officer will lead the global product strategy and product creation engine, ensuring the brand continues to deliver distinctive, high-quality product while building the foundations to scale internationally.
Working closely with the CEO and wider leadership team, you will play a central role in defining how the brand wins through product over the next three to five years.
The opportunity
For the right person, this is a chance to do more than lead a function.
You will define the long-term product vision, strengthen category and assortment strategy, elevate product creation processes and build a world-class team capable of supporting a more complex global business. You will balance brand integrity, customer demand, innovation and commercial performance, helping the business scale without losing what makes the product special.
It is an exciting opportunity for a senior product leader who thrives in brand-led, pacey environments and wants to leave a genuine legacy.
What you’ll be doing
Own and shape the global product vision and strategy
Translate growth ambitions into a clear product roadmap across categories and seasons
Lead category strategy, line planning and assortment architecture
Oversee the end-to-end product creation process from concept through to launch
Drive excellence across design, development, fit, fabric, quality and performance
Improve pace, clarity and accountability across the product lifecycle
Partner cross-functionally with commercial, marketing, merchandising, planning and ecommerce teams
Use customer, market and trade insight to inform better product decisions
Build and lead a high-performing product organisation for the next stage of scale
Act as a key voice on the leadership team, contributing beyond the product function
What success looks like
In the first 12 to 24 months, success is likely to include:
A clearer and more scalable product vision
Stronger category architecture and line planning discipline
Greater consistency and quality across the product offer
Better decision-making on where to innovate, scale and simplify
A stronger operating model across product creation
Closer alignment between product strategy and commercial performance
A more capable senior team and stronger product bench
Product that continues to build brand authority and support international growth
About you
We’re looking for a high-calibre product leader with experience in scaled, premium, global, brand-led consumer businesses.
You will bring:
Executive or near-executive product leadership experience within a consumer brand
Deep expertise across product strategy, category management, line architecture and end-to-end product creation
Strong commercial instinct and the ability to connect product decisions to growth, margin and customer demand
Experience in premium, design-led environments with high standards around product quality and brand integrity
A track record of building and leading senior teams through scale and change
The credibility to work effectively with founders, creatives and commercial leaders
Strong product instinct, customer empathy and clear judgement
An international mindset, ideally with exposure to the US market
Personal style
You are likely to be:
Strategic but hands-on
Commercially sharp
Calm, credible and influential
Clear-thinking and high standards
Comfortable in founder-led, fast-moving environments
Able to bring structure without creating unnecessary complexity
Ambitious, collaborative and grounded in execution
Why this role?
This is a chance to join a brand with real momentum and significant global opportunity ahead.
If you are excited by the idea of shaping product strategy at executive level, building a best-in-class product function and helping an internationally scaling brand strengthen its competitive edge, we’d love to hear from you.
