Vacature Outerwear Developer / Buyer

OUTERWEAR DEVELOPER / BUYER

Help build outerwear that performs, from first idea to final delivery.

Lijnden | Product | 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. In outerwear, strong product needs more than a good idea. It needs sharp product development, solid supplier management, smart buying decisions and a clear grip on quality, timing and margin.
Outerwear is one of those categories where every detail matters: construction, fit, fabric, trims, costing, production planning and delivery. When the process runs well, collections land stronger, margins stay healthier and the business performs better.
But what really sets us apart is how we work together.

We’re team first. No ego, no unnecessary layers, no endless talking, no corporate theatre. We back each other, speak up, take ownership and keep pushing for better. We work hard, stay sharp and make sure there’s room to enjoy the ride too.

That’s where you you take the wheel.

Why this role matters

This is where outerwear product development and buying meet real commercial impact. As our Outerwear Developer / Buyer, you manage outerwear styles through the full product lifecycle: from development, costing and supplier follow-up to buying decisions, production tracking and final delivery.
You keep the critical path under control, align with suppliers and internal teams, and make sure every style lands right in quality, timing and margin. You are not here to just manage the process.

You are here to make sure outerwear is developed, bought and delivered with commercial precision.

What you’ll do

• Manage assigned outerwear styles from development through production
  
• Support costing, price negotiations and margin follow-up
  
• Coordinate with suppliers to keep timelines, quality and delivery targets on track
  
• Monitor the critical path and solve bottlenecks before they become delays
  
• Work closely with Design, Sourcing, Buying and Logistics to keep execution smooth
  
• Review samples and product details with a strong eye for construction, fit and quality
  
• Contribute to improvements in product quality, supplier execution and sustainability
  
• Help translate product ideas into commercial outerwear that is ready for the market.
  

What makes this role exciting

• You work on a highly visible menswear category where product decisions matter
  
• You combine product development, buying and supplier management in one role
  
• You work across the full lifecycle, from first idea to final delivery
  
• You play a key role in a small, high-impact product team
  
• You help shape outerwear collections that need to perform creatively, technically and commercially.
  

You’ll probably love this role if you…

• like being hands-on across the full product process
  
• understand how outerwear construction, materials and fit influence the final product
  
• enjoy balancing quality, timing, costing and margin
  
• get energy from solving issues before they slow things down
  
• prefer practical ownership over endless discussion
  
• want to work in fashion product development where detail and commercial instinct both matter.
  

What you bring

• Several years of experience in product development and/or buying within fashion
  
• Strong technical understanding of outerwear construction, fabrics, trims and materials
  
• Experience working with suppliers and managing development or production follow-up
  
• Commercial awareness around costing, price negotiations and margin impact
  
• Ability to manage multiple deadlines, samples and production calendars
  
• Hands-on, proactive and solution-oriented way of working
  
• Experience in menswear, outerwear or commercially driven fashion is a strong plus.
  

What Just Brands is really like

• People help each other out
  
• Ideas and people matter more than job titles
