Job description

ARNE's retail vision is to redefine what shopping feels like. Every space we create embodies our ‘less is more’ approach, understated yet elevated, blending minimal, high‑quality products with a store environment that’s anything but average. We’re challenging the traditional retail model and setting a new standard where exceptional design, accessible pricing and meaningful customer experiences sit side by side.

Following the hugely successful opening of our flagship store in Liverpool One, we’re excited to continue our retail journey with a brand‑new six‑month pop‑up activation at the Trafford Centre, opening later this year.

With that in mind, we’re looking for passionate, customer focused individuals to join our temporary Retail Team to help bring this vision to life. You’ll be the face of ARNE, welcoming customers, sharing our story, and delivering the kind of service and experience which we believe has been missing from the Retail space.

If you’re passionate about fashion, enjoy delivering exceptional customer experiences, and want to be part of a brand that’s redefining retail, this is your opportunity to make an impact and help shape the future of ARNE.

Please note, this role is a six‑month fixed‑term contract, with an anticipated start date late October 2025. Due to the nature of this role and our pop up being open over peak (Black Friday and the Christmas Period) working hours may vary.

Responsibilities and Duties

• Open and close the store, ensuring everything is secure and ready for trading each day.
• Assist in managing daily operations, including stock management and visual merchandising.
• Deliver exceptional customer service, engaging with customers to enhance their shopping experience.
• Support the team in achieving sales goals and key performance indicators.
• Help with training and mentoring new team members.
• Act as a point of contact for shift‑related issues in the absence of management.
• Always maintain the cleanliness and presentation of the store.

Essential Experience and Skills

• Previous experience in a retail environment, preferably in a supervisory or keyholder role.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
• A keen interest in fashion and retail.
• Ability to work flexible hours, including weekends and holidays.
• Proactive attitude and ability to work independently.
• Strong organisational skills and attention to detail.

Benefits

• We are proud to be recognised as a Medium sized Sunday Times Best Place to Work for 2024
• 32 Days Holiday (including Bank Holidays) + your Birthday off
• Holidays increasing up to 36 days with service
• Option to buy / sell holidays
• Generous staff discount & uniform allowance
• Annual and quarterly bonus schemes based on company performance
• Private Healthcare including Dental & Optical Plans after probation
• Health Cash Plan from day one
• Life assurance paying 5x annual salary from day one
• Discounted marketplace with money off/cash back from 100’s of places
• Employee Assistance Programme
• Cycle to Work Scheme
• Tech Scheme
