Senior Designer (Helensvale)

Senior Designer Join One of Australia’s Fastest Growing Country & Western Brands Country is booming. Western is bigger than ever. And Ringers Western is right at the centre of it. At Ringers Western, we’re building more than just apparel — we’re building a movement. What started around campfires, cattle stations and rodeo arenas has exploded into one of the fastest-growing lifestyle categories in Australia, and we’re looking for a Senior Designer to help shape what comes next. Reporting directly to our Head of Design, this is an opportunity to play a key role in creating product ranges that connect authentic western heritage with modern fashion, function and culture. If you live and breathe great product, understand brand storytelling through design, and want to help drive the future of country & western apparel — we want to hear from you. What You’ll Be Doing
