About the Role
At Burberry, creativity opens spaces. We unlock the power of imagination to push boundaries and open new possibilities for our people, customers, and communities. Founded in 1856, Burberry is a purposeful, values-driven brand committed to sustainable luxury, industry change, and championing communities.

We are seeking an experienced Senior Pattern Cutter to bring technically complex soft garments to life across Runway, Pre-Collections, and Special Projects. Working at the intersection of creativity and craft, you will translate ambitious design concepts into beautifully resolved patterns while preserving silhouette, movement, and proportion.

You will take ownership of styles from initial development through fittings and final technical resolution, applying deep expertise in draping, fluid construction, and fabric behaviour. As a senior specialist within the Atelier, you will strengthen technical capability through collaboration, guidance, and knowledge sharing.

Responsibilities include creating and developing technically complex patterns for dresses, gowns, skirts, blouses, tops, and other soft-sewn garments from sketches, blocks, draped concepts, reference pieces, and creative direction. You will translate the design vision into technically resolved garments while protecting the intended silhouette, volume, balance, movement, and styling.

You will lead assigned styles through pattern development, toile, fittings, amendments, and final resolution, identifying and addressing technical, fit, or fabrication risks. Applying advanced draping, bias cutting, soft construction, and garment-engineering techniques to delicate, fluid, and technically challenging fabrics will be key.

Partnering with Design, Product Development, Atelier Management, Seamstresses, and Pattern Cutters, you will deliver exceptional craftsmanship within seasonal and project priorities. You will also share specialist knowledge, support colleagues’ technical development, and contribute to the evolution of traditional and digital pattern-cutting practices across the Atelier.

Experience
Deep practical expertise in soft-garment pattern cutting, draping, and construction gained within a luxury atelier, couture, high-end fashion house, or comparable environment. Proven track record working with delicate or technically challenging materials, including lightweight, fluid, transparent, or bias-cut fabrics.

About you
A strong understanding of fit, proportion, balance, body movement, and the relationship between fabric, pattern, construction, and final garment behaviour. Ability to interpret complex creative concepts and develop precise technical solutions while maintaining the integrity of the original design vision. Collaborative and solutions-focused approach with the ability to manage priorities, communicate risks clearly, and contribute constructively during fittings. Clear communication skills in English and an interest in sharing knowledge while continuing to develop traditional and digital craft techniques.

Qualifications
Not explicitly stated; however, extensive experience in luxury fashion pattern cutting and garment construction is essential.
