We’re a technology company as much a fashion company. The same restless innovation and creative approach we use on our physical products is equally true of our digital teams. We’re constantly looking to develop the very best experiences for our customers. From capitalising on machine learning capabilities, utilising big-data or pushing our app development boundaries. We are 100% laser focussed on delivering the very best experiences to best empower 20-somethings. We’re seeking a small group of unbelievably talented Product Leaders to help both define and execute against our aspirations, building upon what Asos has brought to online fashion so far. We live and breathe our customers, we’re highly user-centric and we believe deeply that innovation is in our blood. This role demands great technical knowledge, the very best in product thinking tempered with excellent judgment, but above all else; Authentic (doing the right thing for our customers). Brave (not accepting the status quo) and Creative (through bold digital innovation).
