• Along with the Senior Visual Merchandiser and/or your line manager, you’ll regularly perform comparative ‘shops’ of new and inspirational places to maintain an understanding and awareness of competition, direction and key brands.

You’ll be reporting into the Visual Merchandiser as well as working closely internally with the immediate and wider teams.
