We are seeking an exceptional candidate on behalf of one of our long-standing clients — a phenomenal, fast-growing company we have partnered with for more than 22 years. Known for its collaborative culture and supportive, down-to-earth leadership, this is a business where talent is nurtured and careers can truly grow.
This is your opportunity to lead and grow the ecommerce and retail channel for one of fashion’s most iconic names — Vera Wang Activewear, RTW.
With the backing of a global group and the energy of a new brand launch, this role combines digital trading with retail partner management, giving you the scope to drive sales, strengthen brand presence, and deliver a best-in-class customer experience across the UK and Europe.
You will take full accountability for the ecommerce site, manage partnerships with leading ecommerce pureplayers, and oversee the retail arm alongside external partners. A strong buying and merchandising background is essential, ensuring the right product mix, stock flow, and commercial results.
