Collection-Jobs in United States

Leeds

Full-Time

Ben Sherman started out in 1963 producing standout button down shirts from a factory in Brighton. Over 6 decades later the brand is still producing standout shirts, but has also expanded to a full lifestyle collection rich in the brand’s DNA. From the early days the brand has been linked to music and British subcultures and that remains a core aspect of the brand’s appeal today.

We are on a fast paced expansion to build the brand up through our own retail stores, key wholesale partners and the boutique menswear stores that showcases the brand’s products & aesthetic to our broad customer base. To succeed in this expansion we are currently looking for talented, passionate individuals to drive the brand forward through it’s next evolution.

If you are passionate about being part of a British Heritage brand’s journey, why not join us?
