You’ll bring a strong background in apparel and/or footwear retail, ideally with experience across both flagship and outlet environments. This is a key senior leadership position, reporting to the General Manager and working closely with the Commercial Manager, as well as the Buying, Planning, and Marketing teams.

About You:
You’re a commercially minded, hands-on retail leader with a proven track record in the apparel or footwear sectors. You bring deep understanding of both flagship and outlet operations, and you know how to lead high-performing teams while rolling up your sleeves when needed.
