Our Client
The World's pre-eminent super-luxury automotive brand world based in Goodwood, near Chichester, West Sussex, which comprises its global headquarters and Global Centre of Luxury Manufacturing Excellence.
The Role
Everything starts with passion for our luxurious automotive client. It turns a profession into a vocation. It drives them to keep reinventing mobility and to bring innovative ideas onto the roads. Enthusiasm for joint projects turns a department into a strong team where every opinion is valued. It is only when expertise, highly professional processes and enjoyment of work are united that they can shape the future together.
The Bespoke designer creates and steers desirable and profitable design features as part of existing and new model developments in line with Bespoke project and brand requirements. Working from within the Design team, the design work is coordinated and managed by the Bespoke Project Team who steer the bespoke business.
Design work can be modifications to existing features or from a blank sheet of paper and can derive from customer requests or be proactively offered as individual features or part of a Collection Car. Compelling theme development creates a strong framework of desirability for customer and collection cars and there is a need for both 2D graphical and 3D product design skills. Whilst there are specific Colour and Trim Designers within the team, an appreciation of colour and materials is expected. Attention to detail is paramount and there is a strong focus towards applying different craft applications in a contemporary way.
