Join a fun, collaborative and high-performing team – you won’t be disappointed!
The Opportunity
Joining NAR means becoming part of a collaborative and commercially driven design team focused on delivering compelling product ranges for family value and big box retail channels. You’ll help create trend-right, accessible product that balances strong brand handwriting with commercial appeal, ensuring collections resonate with a broad customer base while meeting retailer expectations and licensing requirements.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys the pace and complexity of volume retail, understands how to design product that performs commercially at scale, and can confidently work across multiple briefs, categories, and deadlines. You don’t need to be sports obsessed, you do need strong technical design capability, attention to detail, and the ability to create product that customers genuinely want to wear.
Your New Role
You’ll work closely with Designers, Merchandisers, Production, and Sales teams to deliver commercially relevant licensed graphics and collections across major retail accounts.
You’ll be responsible for translating trend direction and customer insights into commercially viable graphics and product concepts suited to high-volume retail environments. From concept through to production-ready artwork and tech packs, you’ll ensure all designs align with critical path timelines, retailer requirements, and league approval standards.
This role requires someone who can balance creativity with execution, someone who thrives in a fast-moving environment, takes ownership of their work, is collaborative, approachable and enjoys supporting the wider team.
Day-to-day you’ll be:
-
Designing commercially focused licensed graphics and apparel concepts for family value and big box retail channels
-
Creating production-ready artwork and detailed technical packs using Adobe Creative Suite and 3Clicks
-
Interpreting trend direction and customer insights into commercially viable product ranges
-
Working within league and licensing guidelines to ensure designs meet trademark and approval requirements while confidently bringing fresh ideas forward
-
Collaborating closely with Merchandising, Sales, and Production teams to deliver seasonal ranges and SMU programs
-
Supporting smooth production handovers by ensuring artwork and technical details are accurate and factory-ready
-
Maintaining strong organisation across approvals, artwork references, and file management
-
Contributing ideas that improve workflow efficiency, product execution and team collaboration
You’ll thrive in this role if you are:
-
An experienced Graphic Designer with 3+ years’ experience in apparel, textile, or licensed product design
-
Experienced designing for high-volume retail, family value, or big box department store environments (highly regarded)
-
Commercially minded with a strong understanding of customer-focused product design
-
Technically skilled with solid knowledge of print applications, embroidery, and production processes
-
Highly organised with strong time management and the ability to work across multiple projects and to tight deadlines
-
Detail-oriented with a high level of accuracy across artwork and technical execution
-
Experienced engaging with licensing departments and approval portals (highly regarded)
-
Proficient in Adobe Creative Suite with strong illustration and typography skills
-
Motivated by continuous improvement, growth, and delivering results that matter
