Are you interested in fashion, clothing, apparel or textiles and looking for your first or next step into a professional office-based role?

We are looking for a Junior Apparel Account Coordinator to join an established London-based business specialising in bespoke clothing, uniforms and apparel.

This is a junior role supporting the Account Management team with client orders, garments, samples, stock, suppliers and deliveries. You will help coordinate clothing projects from order through to delivery, making sure information is accurate and deadlines are met.

We are looking for a Fashion or Textiles graduate with relevant work experience, or a college leaver with practical experience in clothing or fashion retail.

Previous corporate-wear experience is not required, but you should have a genuine interest in apparel and some practical experience of working with clothing, stock, orders or product information.

Key Responsibilities

• Supporting Account Managers with clothing and apparel orders and client projects from order through to delivery
• Communicating with clients by phone and email and keeping them updated on progress
• Processing orders, updating internal systems and maintaining accurate product information
• Checking garments, samples, stock and order details
• Coordinating embroidery, tagging and other garment requirements
• Liaising with suppliers and couriers and tracking deliveries
• Updating spreadsheets, preparing reports and following up on outstanding orders
• Helping to resolve order and delivery issues
• Ensuring deadlines are met and providing general administration and coordination support

Full training will be provided on the company's products, systems and processes.

About You

We are looking for a junior candidate who already has some connection to the fashion or apparel industry and is now looking to develop their career in a professional office-based role.

We are not looking for a general graduate with no connection to fashion or apparel. You should be able to demonstrate a genuine interest in clothing and some practical experience of working with garments, stock, orders, customers or product information.

Previous corporate-wear or uniform experience is not required. Full training will be provided on our products, systems and processes.

You will need to:

• Have a genuine interest in fashion, clothing and apparel
• Have some practical experience in fashion, clothing retail or an apparel-related environment
