As the person responsible for the first point of sale to the customer, the identity of the brand is in your hands, and your creativity will lead to sales: sales that will lead to the growth of this charismatic business.

You will be responsible for a fresh, new feeling within the stores, concessions, franchisees and large wholesale accounts in your geographical area - dressing windows, designing the store interior, presenting the product attractively, and supporting refurbishments. You will be expected to convey the latest VM techniques to store staff -  training and developing their understanding of VM.

The successful candidate will proactively seek ways of improving in-store aesthetic design, suggesting creative new ideas to the Visual Merchandising Manager. You will be able to manage projects to a tight deadline, often going beyond the call of duty to finish your creation to perfection and on time. You will be able to manage all budgets without compromising innovation and quality. The candidate will have a strong commercial awareness and will be consistently on top of current market trends, competitor schemes and opportunities for taking competitive advantage. You will also be passionate about retail: it is essential that this person loves to go shopping!

This is a truly unique opportunity to become a vital part in the growth of a business with a challenging, friendly, professional and informal culture.
