Job description

By adopting the values of Style & Truth across the whole business - from recruitment to product - we safeguard the long term health of the brand and we create more than just fashion.

A bit about us

Founded in 1970, Jigsaw was the first premium fashion brand on the high street. Since then, the company has expanded worldwide to work with the finest mills, cutting edge photographers, up‑and‑coming models and renowned architects. But the search for the best in the industry never stops.

As our journey continues, we’re looking for a warm, passionate, talented and friendly Deputy Manager to join our team in Canary Wharf!

Here, you’ll learn about Style & Truth: a set of values that sets us apart from the rest of the high street, a belief that everyone should feel empowered to embrace their own style, be true to themselves, and not slavishly follow the fashion world. This means putting style before trends and truth before hype.

This is a fabulous opportunity for someone who wants to start or resume a career in fashion – whether you’ve taken a career break, taken time to start or look after your family, or just have an interest in fashion – we want to hear from you!

What you’ll be doing

• Effectively assist in managing all areas of the store P&L to within allocated budget levels, ensuring Store profitability
• Assist in the effective recruitment, retention, development, performance management and deployment of the Store team
• Work alongside the Store Manager to motivate the store team to achieve sales targets and maximise efficiencies
• Help the Store Manager to analyse sales figures and forecast future sales volumes, setting appropriate staffing levels, stock holding levels and promotional activity in order to maximise profit
• Use sales data provided by the Store Manager to manage store staff in order to achieve all merchandising and add‑on sales opportunities
• Ensure that promotions, sales and merchandising instructions provided by the Store Manager are carried out to expected standards
• Delegate for the Store Manager ensuring that the store complies with requirements in all areas of operational activity, policy and procedure with specific regard to stock and cash security
• Undertake any other reasonable duties identified by the Retail Store Manager

What we look for

• The ability to inspire, motivate and lead a team
• Excellent communication and people skills
• A strong commitment to customer service and maintaining excellent store standards
• Decision‑making ability and a sense of responsibility
• The ability to understand and analyse sales figures
• Planning and organisational skills

Benefits

• Fantastic staff discount schemes – up to 50% (and 70% on 5 items per season)
• Generous seasonal uniform allowance
• Access to Unum, Jigsaw’s benefits provider, for a whole host of resources, support and discounts

We are committed to equality of opportunity for all staff and applications are encouraged from individuals regardless of sex, race, disability, age, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, religion or belief, marriage and civil partnerships or pregnancy and maternity.
