Job description

CMI Lead | Global Fashion Brand | £75,000-90,000

We’re working with a global fashion brand that is building out a world-class team — and their next hire will lead insight for two of their fastest-growing, most high-profile categories.

🚀 Why Join?

This is one of the most exciting insight roles on the market. You’ll be the strategic lead behind two of the fastest-growing categories at one of the world’s most iconic fashion brands.

With board visibility, cross‑functional collaboration, and the chance to shape global strategy — this is a dream job for someone who thrives on impact.

🏢 About the Company

Our client is a global lifestyle brand at the intersection of culture, creativity, and consumer obsession. In recent years, they’ve doubled down on becoming a truly insight‑led organisation. This role sits at the heart of that transformation — where business meets style, and data drives direction.

📅 The Day-to-Day

• Lead all insight projects for two fast‑growing fashion categories globally.
• Collaborate with brand and marketing teams to guide strategy and campaign development.
• Manage research end‑to‑end—from briefing agencies to building analysis from raw data tables.
• Deliver 360 consumer views: brand health, usage & attitudes, social listening, trends and more.
• Present findings directly to senior stakeholders and support long‑range planning efforts.
• Shape a more consumer‑centric culture across teams and regions.

👀 The Ideal Candidate

This isn’t a role for someone waiting for a brief to land. You need to be a proactive thinker — someone who sees where the business should go and uses insights to make it happen.

You’ll enjoy building stories from complex data sets, have a commercial instinct, and a flair for luxury fashion. You won’t be managing a team (yet), so confidence running your own work and influencing upwards is key.

If you’re a proven insights leader from retail, luxury, or FMCG — and want a seat at the table — this is your moment.
