And ideally, experience in a retail role, an understanding of brands and/or online marketplace, and experience of working within sales and profit targets.
Our retail teams cover the needs of their stores by working on a rota basis. Whilst a level of flexibility is needed to meet the needs of the business, we don’t forget that you have a life outside of work too.
