The Role

As a Garment Technologist, you’ll play a key role in bringing our designs to life — ensuring every product is production‑ready, fits perfectly, and aligns with Kaiia’s quality standards. You’ll work closely with design, buying, and suppliers to manage the full fit and approval process.

• Work closely with pattern graders to ensure accurate sizing across all products
• Approve graded specifications and ensure consistency across size ranges
• Liaise with buying teams on style and size ratios
• Build and maintain strong relationships with suppliers
• Send clear and timely fit comments in line with critical path deadlines
• Respond to supplier queries to ensure all styles are approved efficiently
• Track product progress by updating the range plan with fit dates, seal status, and comments
• Monitor and chase outstanding resubmitted samples
• Investigate high return rates by reviewing stock against sealed specifications and reporting findings

What We’re Looking For

• Strong experience in a Garment Technologist role within womenswear (multi‑product essential)
• Excellent knowledge of garment construction, fit, and manufacturing processes
• Confident leading fit sessions and making technical decisions
• Highly organised with strong attention to detail
• Ability to manage multiple styles and deadlines in a fast‑paced environment
• Strong communication skills when working cross‑functionally and with suppliers

Why Join Kaiia?

• Be part of a brand in major growth mode
• Work closely with product, design, and buying teams
• Fast‑paced, collaborative, and creative environment
• Opportunity to make real impact on product quality and customer experience
