  • Assist with planning and visual merchandise of showrooms and trade fairs.
  • Contribute to creative briefs for design projects, packaging, and photography.
  • Support the production of catalogues, promotional materials, and editorial photography.
  • Conduct market research and trend analysis to inform product and buying decisions.
  • Work collaboratively across Product, Sales, Design, and Procurement teams to deliver successful outcomes.

About You

  • Experience in product management, buying, retail management, sales administration, or a similar role (desirable).
  • Highly organised and detail-oriented, with the ability to manage competing priorities.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office (particularly Excel).
  • A proactive, solutions-focused mindset with a willingness to learn.
  • A critical thinker who can balance creativity with commercial understanding.
  • A collaborative team player who communicates effectively and contributes positively to team culture.
  • Enthusiastic, adaptable, and motivated to grow within the product function.
  • Hardworking and versatile, able to move between office tasks and hands-on product merchandising requirements.
