For over 18 years Satara , a leading designer furniture company has developed an admired reputation as a designer, importer and wholesaler of luxury furniture to the Retail, Interior Design and Commercial markets. As we enter our next phase of growth, we are creating a new role within the creative product team for a highly organised Product Development Manager to spearhead our product lifecycle; from initial global trend forecasting to final commercial launch, embedding the principles found within our Satara New Product Development (NPD) Strategy and Roadmap.

Commercial Go-To-Market: Partner with Marketing and Sales to help create compelling product narratives, training materials, and launch strategies that resonate with our diverse customer base.
