At Navygrey, we make clothing that stays with you. Built on feeling. Worn on repeat.

Founded in 2019, as a small team, we believe great products come from great people. We care deeply about quality, craftsmanship and the details that make something special.

We’re now looking for a Product & Production Assistant to join us and work closely alongside our Head of Production.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone in the early stages of their career who is organised, curious and eager to learn.

You’ll gain hands-on experience across every stage of the product journey, from early development through to production, launch and ultimately getting products into customers’ hands. Most importantly, we’re looking for someone with a positive attitude and a willingness to get stuck in.

You don’t need to know everything. You just need to be excited to learn.

The Role

This isn’t a traditional design role, nor is it a purely technical production role.
Instead, you’ll play a key role in helping everything run smoothly behind the scenes.

Working closely with our Head of Production, you’ll help coordinate the countless moving parts involved in bringing a collection to life.

One day you might be helping organise a collaboration with an artist, ensuring samples are moving between suppliers and everyone knows what’s needed next.

The next, you could be checking packaging proofs, organising photo samples for a shoot, ordering labels and swing tags, updating a critical path or letting the wider team know that new stock has arrived and is ready to launch.

You might be coordinating repairs with our specialist partners, helping organise fittings, tracking deliveries, preparing products for photography or making sure samples are exactly where they need to be.

At its heart, this role is about helping things happen. It’s about bringing order to moving parts, taking ownership and making sure no detail gets missed.

Product Development & Production

• Supporting product development from concept through to launch
• Coordinating suppliers, factories and external partners
• Managing sample movements and maintaining sample libraries
• Organising fit samples, reference samples and photo samples
• Maintaining product information, specifications and records
• Assisting with sourcing fabrics, yarns, trims and packaging
• Supporting critical path management and key deadlines
• Assisting with product testing and quality control
• Managing labels, swing tags, barcodes and product set-up information

Product Launches & Ecommerce

• Preparing products and information for launch
• Supporting product set-up across Shopify and internal systems
• Organising product imagery and shoot samples
• Assisting with product descriptions and launch information
• Helping ensure products are accurately represented online
• Supporting packaging development and stock management

Repairs, Care & Customer Experience

We’re passionate about making products that last. You’ll help support our repair and care programme by:

• Coordinating customer repairs and alterations
• Working with external repair and cleaning partners
• Maintaining repair logs and tracking progress
• Organising replacement yarn and care materials
• Helping ensure customers receive the best possible experience

Operations & Organisation

As a small business, everyone contributes and no two days are the same. Responsibilities will also include:

• Tracking samples and ensuring they’re where they need to be
• Monitoring packaging and consumable stock levels
• Supporting wholesale and event stock requirements
• Organising the office, sample areas and storage spaces
• Ordering office supplies and keeping things running smoothly
• Supporting customer service when required
• Helping ensure information flows effectively across the business
  

Who We’re Looking For

More important than experience is attitude.

We’re looking for someone who:

• Is highly organised and detail-oriented
• Takes ownership and follows tasks through to completion
• Has a positive, can-do attitude
• Is proactive and resourceful
• Enjoys solving problems
• Is curious and eager to learn
• Communicates clearly and professionally
• Thrives when juggling multiple projects
• Enjoys working as part of a small team
• Takes pride in doing things properly

The Kind Of Person Who’ll Thrive Here

• You’re the sort of person who notices what needs doing before being asked. You enjoy creating order from chaos.
• You don’t mind whether you’re coordinating a fitting, organising a delivery, checking packaging samples, arranging repairs, updating a spreadsheet or helping prepare products for launch - because you understand that every detail matters.
• You’re naturally curious. You ask questions. You want to understand how things work and how you can make them better.

Most importantly, you’re excited by the opportunity to learn, contribute and grow.

Why Join Navygrey?
This role offers a unique opportunity to gain exposure to every aspect of bringing a product to life within a growing independent brand.

You’ll work directly alongside experienced team members, gain responsibility from day one and develop skills across product development, production, operations, launches and customer experience.

For someone with the right attitude, there is real room to grow.
We’re looking for a person who wants to build a career, not simply fill a role.
If you’re organised, curious, proactive and excited by the idea of helping build something special, we’d love to hear from you.

Please let us know, if you require reasonable adjustments at any point during the application and/or recruitment process.  Applications by email with your CV & Cover Letter to becky@navygrey.co
