You are customer and brand focused, driven to make sense of fashion and deliver a dynamic and successful range in line with the brand handwriting.

You are ambitious, with a curious mindset that goes beyond the job in hand.

You consistently role model our Mint Velvet brand values: ‘Entrepreneurial Spirit’, ‘Passion & Drive’, ‘Courage & Resilience’, ‘Collaborative’ and ‘With Soul’.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES WILL INCLUDE:

- Contributing to the brand product strategy and ensuring both team and suppliers clearly understand the strategic direction for the season

- Managing & sourcing suppliers, working in partnership to achieve maximum output. Including regularly visiting the supply base
- Being a results focused and trading expert, balancing complex decision-making to maximise profit
- Managing your own team and shaping high performance, being prepared to work collaboratively & with care

YOU'LL BE REWARDED WITH:

- Competitive starting salary and great career prospects in a fast paced and growing business
