A strong sense of style, an eye for product, and a senior retail leader who is effortlessly 'on trend' is essential. Additionally, you will have a deep passion for retail, product, sales, service, people, and delivering sustainable results. You must know how to translate a 'vision' into day-to-day retail operational excellence and achieve results that are sustainable for the long term.

You will also have a customer-centric mentality and a retailer at heart, with unquestionable passion for retail and a high level of interest to visit stores regularly to ensure you are fully aware of the heart and pulse of the business. You inherently believe that customers come first every time and a retail business exists to create 'customers for life'. An understanding of the nuances of a family business is also important.

You must inspire confidence, be incredibly commercial, have endless drive, determination, resilience, persistence, and commitment, and always be 'in it for the team.'
