• A clear understanding of the customer profile and an eye for presenting outfits that resonate with our shoppers.
• Previous experience within retail, visual merchandising, or a related creative discipline is welcome, though an eye for detail and enthusiasm for presentation are just as essential.
• Strong organisation and time-management skills, with the ability to balance multiple practical tasks in a busy retail setting.
• A collaborative mindset, working cooperatively alongside store teams, field teams, and product specialists.
• Clear, approachable communication skills across all levels of the store team.
