Job Description

There’s something wonderful about the luxury industry; the stories, the history that saw the brands grow from an idea into the brand we see before us today. With many brands, there have been custodians who’ve looked after, nurtured, grown and inspired the brand to be at the forefront of an ever-changing world.

In today’s highly competitive luxury market, you can no longer rely upon a name – they must build and create strategies that engage and motivate customers.

It involves everything from advertisements in magazines, the education and expert-level knowledge the teams in retail environments exude, to the experience from the moment you step into the store.

We are supporting a brand in finding an EA for their newly appointed Head of Retail and Customer.

As with all luxury brands, there are two sides – the creative and the business. While the creative side often receives praise, for an Executive Assistant, the business side offers a rewarding path—driven by significant investment, teams deploying innovative ideas, building solutions, and focusing on perhaps the most important aspect of luxury – the customer.

This role will be a central support across Education and Operations, providing essential assistance to the Head, who will travel extensively.

Key facts:

• Salary: £60,000 + £65,000 + Benefits + Bonus
• Hybrid working: 3 days in the office, 2 days remote
• European language skills (French, Spanish, Italian) are beneficial due to the international nature of the role/team
• Experience within the luxury industry is essential
• Immediate start date
