Visual Merchandising Manager
Are you a Visual Merchandising professional who combines a strong eye for brand image with a genuine talent for leading and developing people?
We're looking for a Visual Merchandising Manager to deliver our brand image in store and lead a local VM team.
About the role
The Visual Merchandising Manager is responsible for delivering and maintaining our brand image across stores, in line with company guidelines. You'll be the point of reference for the local VM team, leading their day-to-day organisation, and you'll work in close partnership with HQ and the central team.
What you'll do
Team leadership & people development
- Act as the lead for the local VM team, managing their organisation, schedules and the planning of activities across assigned stores.
- Coordinate the team's work, ensuring priorities and timings agreed with HQ are met.
- Lead the appraisal, development and professional growth of your team, helping each person build on their strengths and potential.
- Foster a collaborative, supportive and results-focused working environment.
Visual Merchandising & execution
- Create window displays and merchandising set-ups in line with brand guidelines, commercial needs and the product available in store.
- Support HQ in delivering the retail strategy through hands-on execution of VM activities (window rotations, re-merchandising, and so on).
- Ensure activities are delivered to the timings planned with the HQ Visual Merchandising Manager.
