About the Company

Join a global, design-led apparel company with over 45 years of experience creating bespoke corporate wear, uniforms, and branded clothing for some of the world’s most iconic clients. Our projects span luxury retail, hospitality, travel, and major sporting events. As we continue to grow, we’re seeking a proactive and highly organised Sales & Operations Assistant to join our vibrant and fast-paced Sales and Marketing team.

The Role

This hands-on, varied role is perfect for someone who thrives in a fast-moving, creative environment. Supporting our senior commercial team, you’ll combine strong Excel skills — updating tender documents, pricing files, and contracts — with practical, day-to-day team support. From prepping meeting rooms and coordinating fittings to unpacking deliveries, assisting photoshoots, and running errands, you’ll be an essential part of our team’s success.

Key Responsibilities

• Support Head of Sales, Business Development Manager, and Marketing Manager.
• Update and manage tender documents, pricing files, and sales templates using Excel.
• Assist with contract updates, document formatting, and proofreading.
• Provide hands-on support with fittings, sample deliveries, and showroom prep.
• Unpack and organise deliveries for photoshoots and events.
• Help set up and support wellbeing initiatives and internal meetings.
• Coordinate and prepare logistics for photoshoots, including sample packing.
• Run occasional errands to support smooth team operations.
• Assist with general sales and marketing administration and coordination.

About You

• Proven experience supporting teams in fast-paced environments.
• Experience in apparel, fashion, or creative industries preferred; alternatively, experience managing critical paths in product-focused roles.
• Confident and advanced Excel skills — formatting, updating, creating templates, and editing contracts/tenders.
• Exceptionally organised, detail-oriented, and capable of juggling multiple priorities.
• Excellent communicator and collaborative team player.
• Energetic, proactive, self-motivated, and solution-focused.
• Comfortable working full-time on-site in a practical, hands-on role.

Why Join Us?

• Work on exciting apparel projects for globally recognised brands.
• Join a supportive, collaborative, and dynamic team that values creativity and initiative.
• Be part of a purpose-led business where your input directly influences growth.
• Develop your commercial career within the growing apparel industry.
• Enjoy a great central location in Hammersmith with excellent benefits.
• Thrive in a company committed to employee wellbeing and a vibrant, social team culture.
