Who We’re Looking For:

• Luxury Retail Leadership – 10+ years of experience in multi-site retail management or boutique leadership within the luxury sector.
• Strategic & Hands-On – A leader who thrives in a dual role—able to drive big-picture retail strategy while also managing boutique-level details.
• Commercial Acumen – Strong experience in budgeting, sales performance management, and new market development.
• Industry Expertise – Deep knowledge of the UK luxury retail landscape, including department stores such as Harrods, Selfridges, and Liberty.
