Visual Merchandiser Assistant
Role Responsibility
As a Visual Merchandiser in one of our fashion departments, you will have a passion and interest in fashion and you’ll be involved in every aspect of developing extraordinary creative visual merchandising. From the way products look to how new ones are launched, from mannequin styling to planning and implementing floor layouts and merchandising, you’ll do all you can to maintain world-class standards throughout. You’ll also regularly walk the floor to spot opportunities and research competitor stores to make sure Selfridges remains the ultimate for visual impact. The better you are at promoting great working practices, sharing your knowledge and keeping up-to-date with current trends, the more effective you’ll be.
The Ideal Candidate
An organised, hands-on visual merchandiser, you’ll be in your element in a fast-paced and pressurised retail environment like ours. Working with the most desirable products around, it’s essential you have the style and professionalism to match. That means a proven talent for product handling, merchandising and presentation, with a strong creative streak and a keen eye for detail. What’s more, you’ll be resilient, flexible and self-motivated, and know exactly how to inspire, collaborate and influence at all levels.
