Head of Store Visual Merchandising | Flagship Fashion Store
Central London | £45,000 + Bonus + Benefits
Are you an experienced Visual Merchandising Manager, Senior Visual Merchandiser, or Head of Store VM looking for your next challenge within a leading fashion retailer?
We're recruiting for a Head of Store Visual Merchandising to be based within a high-profile flagship store in Central London.
This is a hands-on, store-based leadership role, responsible for the visual presentation, customer experience, and commercial performance of the flagship. You'll lead and develop a talented in-store VM team, bringing the brand to life across the shop floor, windows, and key customer touchpoints.
This is not a Head Office-based visual merchandising role. We're looking for someone who enjoys being on the shop floor, working closely with the wider store leadership team, and using commercial insight to continually improve the customer experience.
The Role
As Head of Store Visual Merchandising, you'll take ownership of the day-to-day visual direction of the flagship store, ensuring it consistently reflects the brand while delivering strong commercial results.
- Lead, coach, and inspire the in-store Visual Merchandising team, working closely with the Store Manager and wider retail leadership to deliver seasonal campaigns, launches, and key commercial initiatives.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead and inspire the in-store Visual Merchandising team, setting high standards and developing the team.
- Own the visual presentation and execution of the flagship store, ensuring the brand comes to life across every area.
- Deliver windows, displays, product presentations, and seasonal campaigns to an exceptional standard.
- Work closely with the Store Manager and wider retail team to ensure VM activity supports commercial priorities.
- Use sales performance, customer behavior, and KPIs to inform product placement, layouts, and visual decisions.
- Lead seasonal launches, promotional activity, and new product drops within the store.
- Conduct regular floor walks and continually identify opportunities to improve the customer journey and commercial performance.
- Keep the store visually fresh, relevant, and aligned to current fashion and retail trends.
- Coach the wider store team on visual standards and ensure consistency across the customer journey.
- Support wider projects including new store openings, refits, relocations, and concept launches where required.
- Work collaboratively with Head Office teams including Buying, Merchandising, Marketing, and Retail Operations.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
