We’re looking for a proactive and highly organised Visual Merchandising Coordinator to support franchise partner markets across the Middle East, Israel, Turkey, Belgium, and Copenhagen. This is a critical role that sits at the heart of our global VM operations, bridging the gap between central VM strategy and its execution across diverse international markets.

You’ll work closely with the central Visual Merchandising team to distribute and adapt seasonal guidance and ensure alignment with brand standards across all franchise locations.

Partner with internal VM stakeholders to align franchise executions with brand expectations.

Support seasonal and campaign launches with detailed execution guidance and tracking.

Manage VM administrative tasks including distribution of toolkits, calendars, and updates.

Monitor compliance and support feedback loops from franchise partners.

What We’re Looking For

3–5 years of Visual Merchandising experience within a retail environment (franchise or international markets a strong plus).

Proven ability to coordinate across departments and cultures, with exceptional organisational and project management skills.

A clear, concise communicator who thrives on structure and consistency.

Comfortable handling multiple deliverables and stakeholders in a fast-paced setting.

Experience supporting retail campaigns or seasonal transitions is advantageous.
