The Ideal Candidate

You will be organised and efficient and possess excellent communication and interpersonal skills, and demonstrate a positive, can-do attitude! You will have a clear understanding and passion for the Selfridges brand, alongside the enthusiasm and drive to manage your workload and multitask.

If you are looking for a new role and make a real impact, then this will be perfect for you.

It doesn’t just stop at creative presentation  either - we have lots of opportunities to get involved and collaborate on projects and in communities internally, so no two days will ever be the same. As Harry Gordon Selfridge once said, ‘There’s no fun like work!’
