ABOUT ALOHAS Lea atentamente toda la información sobre esta oportunidad y luego utilice el botón de solicitud de abajo para enviar su CV y su candidatura. ALOHAS is a fast-growing Spanish footwear and accessories brand built on a simple idea: only make what's already been chosen. Our on-demand model eliminates overproduction at its root — no excess stock, no waste. We move at the speed of culture while staying true to the belief that fashion can be done differently. THE ROLE We're looking for a FTW Product Development Lead to join our Product team at a defining moment. This isn't a role to maintain a machine that's already running — it's a role to build it. You'll own the development function end-to-end: the processes, the standards, the supplier relationships, and the team structure. You'll report directly to the Chief Product Officer and work closely with Design, Merchandising, and Production. This is a hands-on role. You'll be deep in the craft — and simultaneously building the structure that makes the whole function reliable. YOUR CHALLENGE Product Development & Execution
* Lead the full product development cycle from tech-pack to GTM-ready sample — footwear first, accessories as the scope grows
* Review and approve proto, sealing, and pre-production samples with precise technical feedback
* Validate new materials and processes before they enter production
* Develop and maintain strong relationships with our factories and material suppliers, primarily based in Spain and Portugal




* Conduct market research and competitor analysis to drive continuous improvement in innovation, sustainability, and efficiency Leadership
* Lead and upskill a small team of product developers — bringing structure, expertise, and autonomy where it's been missing
* Define product development KPIs (time-to-market, quality, return rates, margins) and report regularly to senior leadership
* Establish and continuously improve the processes that make the development engine reliable and scalable GTM & Strategy
* Own and manage the product development calendar in close collaboration with Merchandising, protecting key GTM milestones
* Analyse sales and return data to make data-informed decisions and feed recommendations back into the product process Master Data & Systems
* Maintain product data accuracy across our systems (PLM/Centric, ERP, POS)
* Serve as the cross-functional point of contact on product information — for Design, Brand, Channels, and Customer Service WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
* 7+ years of experience in footwear product development— factory-side or brand-side, both work (experience in an Atelier or factory environment is a strong plus)
* Deep technical knowledge of footwear construction, materials, fit,



and manufacturing processes; leather goods experience is a plus
* Proven experience leading or structuring a team — and the ability to be hands-on yourself, not just a manager
* Track record working with suppliers and factories, ideally in Spain or Portugal
* Experience with PLM and ERP systems (we use Centric); strong Excel skills
* Ability to analyse sales and return data and translate it into product decisions
* Fluent in Spanish and English (essential — Spanish for factory relationships, English for the broader team and international suppliers)
* A solution-first mindset: you move fast, protect deadlines, and don't wait for perfect conditions
* Willing to travel ~20% to visit factories, attend trade shows, and source materials

WHAT WE OFFER
* Freedom & responsibility. We trust you to own your work.
* Adaptable hours.
* Summer hours. Intensive schedule in July and August.
* Two disconnect days a year, on top of your holidays. Take them when you need them.
* Balance that's real. We support parenthood, family life, gender equality and diversity, and sustainability is built into how we work.
* Up to 70% off ALOHAS, for you, your family and friends.
* Office in Gràcia, Barcelona, with coffee and fresh fruit, plus monthly after-work plans with the team.
* Growth. Honest feedback, ongoing learning and room to grow with the company. xqysrnh Ready to shape the future in a fashion brand? Join us and leave your mark
