We also have a track record of progression, support, and training. We have numerous examples across our teams where people have progressed upwards or into completely new opportunities within the business. Ultimately, your development is paramount to us, and we want to help support you in achieving your goals.

We want to create a place for colleagues to do their best work, and you will have the opportunity to influence our decisions, help define retail standards across the estate, and contribute to a happy and healthy working environment.

About you:

• The successful candidate must have a passion for fashion retail and our company ethos.
• Ideally, you will have previous experience in fashion retail.
• Previous managerial experience working in a fast-paced environment.
• Experience in managing, motivating, and training a team.
• Strong verbal and written skills.
• Ability to work efficiently in a fast-paced environment.
• Highly organized with a customer-focused attitude.
• In-depth knowledge of the industry.

Diversity:

We recognize and value the importance of diversity to ensure we have different perspectives when providing services to our colleagues and customers. We believe this helps us build great service, which our customers will love. Diversity also means building happy teams full of people eager to learn and inspired by each other’s experiences.
