Role Overview
Visual storytelling is at the heart of everything we do at Liberty, and this role is where it comes to life. We're looking for a Visual Merchandising Lead to shape and elevate our visual presentation across the store, bringing Liberty's iconic creativity, craftsmanship and attention to detail into every display.

Key Responsibilities

- Develop visually engaging VM displays that captivate customers and elevate the shopping journey, and guide your team in bringing them to life across the store.
- Plan workflows, resource the team, manage suppliers and own departmental budgeting.
- Build and maintain the master critical path for VM, working cross-functionally with Marketing, Merchandising, Retail and Buying to keep every update cascaded.
- Own all briefs on Monday.com, resourcing the team, keeping stakeholders informed, and ensuring deadlines are met.
- Act as the central point of contact between internal teams and external brand partners, ensuring quality and timelines are always met.
- Keep a finger on the pulse of VM, design and retail innovation, experimenting with new ideas, materials and technologies.
