Vacature Manager Product Development

MANAGER PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

Turn product vision into product reality. Lijnden | Product Development | 40 hours | Full-time

At Just Brands, we build menswear brands with character. PME Legend, Cast Iron and Vanguard each have their own voice, their own audience, and their own place in the market. Great product only gets to market when design, development, quality, timing and margin all move in sync. That is where this role makes the difference.

What sets us apart is how we work. We keep things moving, together. No ego. Just people who step up, push for better and take ownership from first idea to final delivery. We work hard, stay practical and make sure there’s room to enjoy the ride too.

That’s where you come in.

As our new Manager Product Development, you make sure collections move from concept to delivery with the right balance of quality, timing, margin and consistency.

You’ll join a company where:

• ideas and people matter more than job titles
  
• hard work matters, and so does enjoying the ride
  
• if something can be better, we improve it
