OMNES is a fast‑growing, design‑led womenswear brand on a mission to make responsible fashion accessible. We create considered, contemporary collections with responsible materials and a focus on longevity.

Role Overview

You will own all aspects of in‑store visual merchandising for OMNES retail stores, ensuring every space reflects our brand values: modern, sustainable, welcoming and commercially sharp. You’ll combine creativity with a strong analytical mindset – driving product performance through strategic visual presentation, window concepts, and rapid adaptations to trading patterns.

This role suits someone hands‑on, organised, commercially aware, and excited by the pace of a dynamic, high‑growth fashion brand.

• Support the Merchandising team on stock placement, density, and flow to maximise productivity.
• Partner with Store Managers to drive conversion, AOV, and basket composition through visuals.

Brand & Creative

• Work closely with the Creative and Marketing teams on visual storytelling, campaign launches, and retail moments.
• Support the development of window schemes, props, in‑store signage, and sustainability messaging.
• Ensure all physical executions reflect OMNES’ environmental values – from materials to installation methods.

New Store Openings

• Lead VM planning and set‑up for new stores and pop‑ups.
• Produce VM packs, guides, and training materials for new teams.
• Support fit‑out from a VM perspective, ensuring fixtures, lighting and layouts are optimised.

Guidelines & Standards

• Maintain up‑to‑date VM guidelines for store teams.
• Deliver on‑site coaching to ensure teams understand and implement OMNES standards.
• Conduct regular store walks, photo reports, and action plans.

Operational Excellence

• Manage VM budget for props, window materials and in‑store updates.
• Source sustainable materials and minimise waste across all VM activity.
• Ensure compliance with H&S procedures during installations.
