You will ideally have:

What you will bring to Casa by JJ

We are looking for someone who can operate across both the creative and commercial sides of the business. You’ll need to be able to walk into a trade show and spot the product that everyone will want next season but also understand the numbers behind the decision, know how much to buy, when to re-order it and what margin we need to achieve. You’ll have the opportunity to make a tangible contribution to the evolution of the Casa by JJ collection, influence the products we introduce and help build the buying and merchandising function as the business grows. This is an opportunity for someone who wants ownership, responsibility and creative influence within an ambitious premium homewares brand.
