We’re looking for a freelance technologist to support the development of multi-category hard goods for a luxury retailer based in London — covering home accessories, kitchenware, tabletop, stationery, toys, travel goods, and seasonal gifting.

You’ll manage product compliance, safety, and quality from concept through to customer use, working closely with Buying, Merchandising, and Design teams, as well as third-party suppliers.

What we’re looking for:
Proven experience in technical roles within hard goods, homeware, or lifestyle categories
Strong knowledge of product safety, quality, and legal compliance
Confident communicator with excellent organisational and problem-solving skills
Hands-on experience managing suppliers and outsourced production
Familiar with sustainability, CSR, and ethical standards


As a freelancer you will receive a competitive day rate, paid weekly, alongside paid holiday entitlement and the opportunity to join a pension scheme.


This is a temporary opportunity, likely to be filled quickly — so apply today to avoid missing out
