About Honey B
Honey Birdette was created by women for women, to offer an experience unlike any other lingerie retailer. We are a luxury lifestyle brand offering high-end lingerie and premium bedroom accessories.

We inspire, create curiosity, and empower women through their beauty and confidence.
The Role
As Head of Design at Honey Birdette, you don’t just lead the creative—you set the standard . Working alongside our Director of Product & Merchandise Planning, you’ll take the reins of our lingerie design direction, leading a fierce team of creatives to deliver collections that are luxurious, seductive, and undeniably HB.
From first sketch to final fit, you’ll oversee every detail; owning the design process, setting the tone for global trends, and pushing boundaries with every launch. You’ll drive innovation, evolve our product offering, and shape what’s next, all while mentoring the next generation of HB creatives. This is more than a design role, it’s your moment to lead, disrupt, and define the future of luxury lingerie on a global stage.
