They celebrate diversity in every form, embracing every person, shape, size, and story. Join as they continue to grow their brand, marking their place as the UK's fastest growing lingerie brand. Position Overview This role is the Head of Product's right hand. You will run the day-to-day product engine - development, suppliers, samples, approvals, and critical path - with genuine autonomy, freeing the Head of Product to focus on strategy and growth. You will be trusted to make calls within your lane, escalating decisions rather than tasks, and earning increasing autonomy as you go. We are looking for an over-performer ready for their next step - someone currently working in buying or product development who has outgrown their role and wants to run something, not just support it. You will get real breadth here: range building, supplier relationships, development, fit, and trade insight, all in one seat, with a clear path to owning the product function day-to-day as the brand grows. If you are passionate about product and want to see your fingerprints on a growing range, this is a unique and exciting opportunity to accelerate your career. Who You Are Product-obsessed - currently operating at Junior Buyer, Assistant Buyer, or Product Developer level with a genuine passion for great product. Detail-driven, with the organisation to keep trackers, samples, and approvals moving without being chased. Motivated by challenging briefs, with a proactive, problem-solving attitude. Confident, enthusiastic, and self-motivated - able to use initiative and work at pace in a reactive environment. Strong analytical and negotiation skills, with a track record of achieving or exceeding key performance metrics. An excellent communicator, written and verbal, who builds strong professional relationships. You want to run something, not just support it - you take full ownership of your lane and hold yourself accountable for the outcome. Works with genuine autonomy - comes to meetings prepared, brings solutions not just problems, and can run with a brief without hand-holding. A flexible, considerate team player who thrives in a start-up environment. What You'll Be Doing Range & Buying Collaborate with the Head of Product to curate a product assortment in line with Lemonade's vision and key performance metrics. Support the Head of Product in range building and developing specific categories. Maintain range plans and design development sheets across seasonal collections, keeping them accurate and up to date throughout development. Analyse sales and inventory data, presenting insights and recommendations to optimise the product mix. Support weekly and monthly trade meetings - owning the data pulls and first-draft trade callouts for Head of Product review, and providing product-level commentary on best and worst sellers. Provide market analysis on future trends and competitor ranges through comp shops and external research. Product Development & Critical Path Own the critical path end to end - from initial development through to delivery - keeping schedules on track and resolving issues before they become delays. Run the development process day to day, making the calls needed to keep execution and approvals moving. Ensure timely placement of purchase orders with suppliers. Own sample management - labelling, maintaining the development tracker, and ensuring the correct samples are available for meetings. Attend fit meetings with the garment tech team, contributing on fit, styling, and trims. Own lab dip and trim approvals. Relationships & Team Own day-to-day supplier communication - chasing samples, lab dips, and approvals, and flagging critical path risks early so issues are raised before they become delays. Build strong relationships with suppliers and wholesale partners. Manage day-to-day department requirements, ensuring effective communication across the team. Skills / Experience Required Solid buying or product development experience is essential - you may currently be a Junior Buyer, Assistant Buyer, or Product Developer ready to step up. A clear understanding of product critical paths, lead times, and garment development. Strong analytical skills with the ability to turn sales and inventory data into recommendations. Previous experience working with wholesale partners is an advantage. Experience with Adobe / CAD desired, not essential. Computer literate with intermediate MS Office skills and the ability to quickly learn new systems. Knowledge of the lingerie or fashion industry (desired, not essential). Experience in a start-up is a significant plus. What We'll Do for You Generous holiday allowance. Simply Health benefits. Pension plan. Undies subscription.

Experienced Sales Negotiator Lincoln 30,000 - 32,000 basic salary, with flexibility available for the right level of experience Realistic OTE c. 50,000 Let's be honest. Most experienced Sales Negotiators know within five minutes whether a role is genuinely worth considering. You look at the stock levels. You look at the quality of the team. You look at how people are treated. Then you ask yourself one simple question: "Can I actually build a long-term career here?" For the right person, the answer to that question will be yes. This opportunity sits with one of Lincolnshire's most respected independent property businesses. A firm with an enviable stock of properties, a strong reputation across the local market and a team of experienced property professionals who genuinely enjoy what they do. This isn't a branch trying to reinvent itself or rebuild from scratch. It's an established, successful business that has spent many years building lasting relationships with vendors, buyers and the communities it serves. What makes this role particularly appealing is that you'll be joining a business where success isn't built around internal competition. Commission is paid on a team basis and rewarded at sale agreed stage, creating an environment where colleagues work together, support one another and share in the success of the wider office. In an industry that can sometimes feel overly individualistic, that makes a real difference. The role itself will be familiar to any experienced negotiator. You'll spend your time speaking with buyers and vendors, negotiating offers, arranging and booking viewings, updating clients throughout the sales process and helping to progress transactions through to completion. There will be the occasional accompanied viewing when required, but this is not a role built around spending your day driving from appointment to appointment. The real value you bring will be through your communication, your commercial instincts and your ability to build trust with clients. Vendor care sits at the heart of the business. They are looking for somebody who understands that estate agency is about far more than simply agreeing a deal. It is about keeping people informed, managing expectations, handling difficult conversations professionally and ensuring vendors feel supported throughout what is often one of the biggest decisions of their lives. If you enjoy building relationships, providing regular updates and becoming a trusted point of contact for clients, you'll fit in well here. Culture is another major selling point. Staff turnover is exceptionally low and many members of the wider business have built long and successful careers there. People are developed rather than replaced. Knowledge is shared rather than guarded. Several senior property professionals within the wider organisation started in more junior positions before progressing into valuation and leadership roles. If your long-term aspiration is to move into valuations or take the next step in your estate agency career, you'll be joining a business with a proven track record of developing talent from within. Just as importantly, you'll be surrounded by experienced colleagues who know the local market inside out. You'll have access to a strong flow of activity, quality stock and the support of people who genuinely understand the challenges and rewards of modern estate agency. The hours are Monday to Friday with just one Saturday per month required. Whilst Saturdays remain one of the busiest and most productive days within the property market, this offers a far better work-life balance than many estate agency roles currently available. To be successful, you'll already have experience within residential estate agency and be comfortable managing buyers, vendors and negotiations from enquiry through to sale agreed. You'll be a confident communicator, commercially aware, organised and motivated by delivering an excellent client experience. Most importantly, you'll be somebody who understands the importance of relationships and takes pride in representing a respected local brand in the right way. In return, you'll receive a basic salary in the region of 30,000 - 32,000, with flexibility available for candidates bringing strong experience, alongside a realistic OTE of circa 50,000. More importantly, you'll be joining a business where the reputation is already established, the stock is already there, the culture is already proven and the opportunity to build a long-term career genuinely exists. If you're currently succeeding in estate agency but feel there might be a better environment out there, this could be the conversation worth having.
