Director of Merchandising

We’re partnering with a high-growth, founder-led fashion & lifestyle brand as they enter a key phase of international expansion.

This is a pivotal, Director-level hire, reporting directly to the CEO and sitting on the senior leadership team, with full ownership of the global merchandising strategy.

You’ll be responsible for:

• Leading merchandising at both a strategic and hands-on level
• Driving international expansion, adapting ranges across key European markets
• Working closely with product teams to shape a globally relevant assortment
• Bringing structure, pace, and clarity to a fast-moving, scaling environment
• Acting as a key bridge between product, planning, and commercial functions

We’re looking for someone who:

• Has built and scaled merchandising functions from the ground up, not just operated within established structures
• Brings experience within a high-growth fashion or lifestyle brand, ideally in a founder-led environment
• Has exposure to international markets (EU essential)
• Is comfortable navigating ambiguity, pace, and evolving ways of working
• Is already operating at Director level, with credibility at C-suite / founder level

This is a rare opportunity to shape the merchandising function of a brand entering its next stage of growth.
