People Leadership

Continuous Improvement

• Constantly look for ways to improve efficiency, flow, and accuracy.
• Optimise layouts, picking methods, and labour utilisation.
• Drive practical, action-focused improvements that support growth and scale.

What Success Looks Like:

• Warehouse operations run predictably and calmly, even under pressure.

• The team knows the standard - and meets it without being chased.

Old School Brand | Product Team

We’re looking for a senior, product-focused designer to join our Product team at Old School Brand. This role is for someone who lives and breathes apparel – with deep knowledge of sports and lifestyle clothing, strong commercial instincts, and the ability to design ranges that sell, scale, and get worn.

This is not a “design it and move on” role. It’s about building product end-to-end – from concept to final garment – grounded in brand heritage, sports culture, and real-world use. You’ll design for fans, not just for screens.

You’ll work closely with our Product, Commercial, and Licensing teams to create men’s and unisex ranges that are unmistakably Old School: authentic, bold, and commercially sharp.

And yes – graphic design also matters here.

What you’ll be doing:

• Designing seasonal apparel ranges across sports and lifestyle categories, from initial concept through to production.
• Creating and owning graphic direction across apparel: prints, placements, trims, badges, typography, and branding applications.
• Translating brand DNA, sports heritage, and fan culture into wearable, commercially viable product.
• Developing clear tech packs, artwork files, and production-ready graphics for manufacturers.
• Collaborating closely with Product Developers to ensure designs are feasible, cost-aware, and scalable.
• Working with Commercial and Sales teams to ensure ranges align with market demand and customer insight.
• Maintaining consistency across licensed brands while still pushing fresh, relevant design.
• Reviewing samples, refining fit, graphics, and finishes until the product is right.

What we’re looking for:

• Senior-level experience designing men’s or unisex sports and lifestyle apparel at scale.
• Strong graphic design capability specifically for apparel (not just marketing or digital design).
• A solid understanding of garment construction, fabrics, trims, and production processes.
• Commercial awareness – you understand price points, margins, and what actually sells.
• Confidence working with licensed brands and navigating brand guidelines.
• Ability to balance creativity with practicality (great ideas that can actually be made).
• Comfortable working fast, iterating often, and owning your work from start to finish

Bonus points if you…

• Are obsessed with sports culture and fanwear.
• Get goosebumps from iconic teams and historic moments.
• Have opinions about collars, badges, and typography – and can back them up

About Old School Brand:

We work with iconic names like the Springboks, Orlando Pirates, Kaizer Chiefs, Liverpool, and the Stingers.
