Senior Product Development Manager
London (Hybrid) | Full Time | £50,000–£70,000 + Potential Share Options
Help Build the Future of Performance & Recovery
At Resonance, we believe apparel should do more than simply be worn.
We're building the world's first Energy Wear brand, combining advanced mineral-infused technology with premium performance apparel designed to support performance, recovery and everyday wellbeing.
Founded from a deeply personal mission to improve quality of life, Resonance has spent years developing proprietary technology that is now being worn by athletes, health practitioners and people looking to perform and feel their best.
Following a successful launch and significant investment, we're entering our next stage of growth. We're looking for an experienced Senior Product Development Manager to lead our product development function and help shape the future of the brand.
This is an opportunity to join a business at an exciting stage of its journey, working directly with the founders and influencing products that have the potential to redefine the future of performance apparel.
The Role
Reporting directly to the COO and working closely with the Founder, you will lead the entire product development lifecycle across our apparel collections.
You'll oversee garment development from concept through to production, manage supplier relationships, drive innovation and ensure every product meets the premium standards Resonance is becoming known for.
This is a highly influential role that combines strategic thinking with hands-on product development and offers the opportunity to build a world-class product function as the business scales.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the end-to-end product development process across all apparel categories.
- Manage product development from concept through sampling to production.
- Collaborate closely with Design, Commercial, Marketing and Operations.
- Lead fit sessions, garment reviews and product approvals.
- Develop innovative fabrics, trims and materials with global suppliers.
- Build and manage strong supplier and manufacturing relationships.
- Drive seasonal critical paths and development timelines.
- Ensure products achieve quality, performance and commercial objectives.
- Identify opportunities for innovation and continuous improvement.
- Develop scalable product development processes as the company grows.
- Support future recruitment and mentoring of the Product Development team.
About You
We're looking for someone who enjoys building exceptional products and thrives in a fast-moving, entrepreneurial environment.
You'll ideally have:
- 4+ years' experience in apparel product development or product management.
- Experience within sportswear, activewear, performance apparel or premium lifestyle brands.
- Strong knowledge of garment construction, technical fabrics and manufacturing.
- Experience working with overseas suppliers and manufacturers.
- Excellent understanding of product development critical paths.
- Outstanding organisational and project management skills.
- Strong communication and stakeholder management abilities.
- A passion for innovation and creating premium products.
Experience with compression garments, performance textiles or wearable technology would be advantageous but isn't essential.
Why Join Resonance?
This isn't simply another Product Development role.
You'll play a key role in shaping one of the UK's most exciting emerging performance brands.
You'll work directly alongside the founders, influence strategic decisions and help create products that genuinely improve people's lives.
As Resonance continues to grow internationally, you'll have the opportunity to grow with the business.
What We Offer
- Salary of £50,000–£70,000, depending on experience.
- Potential participation in the company's share option scheme.
- Hybrid working based in London.
- High levels of ownership, autonomy and responsibility.
