Disclaimer: This position is advertised by ZenART Supplies (ECOMTRADE Ltd) on behalf of our partner company, Scriveiner. The role is specifically within the premium/luxury gentlemen’s accessories category in which Scriveiner operates. About Scriveiner Scriveiner is a multi-award-winning affordable luxury men’s accessories brand built on British design, precision engineering, and uncompromising quality. Our awards include the King’s Award for Enterprise and six product design awards. We are founder-led, highly profitable, and growing fast. We are expanding beyond writing instruments into a broader gentlemen’s accessories world, and we need someone to build and lead the product development engine that makes that expansion happen with discipline, quality, and commercial rigour. We have built a pen brand that wins awards and earns serious customer loyalty. What we do not yet have is the product development infrastructure to scale that brand into new categories without the founders carrying the operational load personally. There is no pipeline management system. There is no stage-gate process. There is no design authority outside the founding team. That is what this role builds: from scratch, with full authority and direct founder partnership. The first 18 months will define what Scriveiner is capable of becoming. The Role The most important thing about this role is whether the whole machine works. This role owns the product development engine end-to-end. You will define the pipeline, build the processes, manage the supplier relationships, enforce the commercial discipline, and drive the launches while also being the design authority who ensures every product feels unmistakably Scriveiner. Design excellence is not optional in this role it is the foundation. But design alone is not enough. What separates this role from a pure design position is the expectation that you also own the system: the stage gates, the roadmap, the costing discipline, the handoff standards, the cadences. You build the machine, and you run it.
