  • Manage general administrative tasks and ensure smooth day-to-day team operations.
About You

We're looking for someone who lives and breathes fashion, with a finger firmly on the pulse of social, influencer, and lifestyle trends. You'll bring creativity, organisation, and a genuine passion for communications.

Skills & Experience:

  • Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
  • Strong organisation and time-management, with a keen eye for detail.
  • Confident using Microsoft PowerPoint, Word, and Excel.
  • Flexible, adaptable, and able to multitask in a busy environment.
  • A genuine passion for fashion, social media, and wider cultural trends (music, beauty, arts, film).
Why Join Us?

At Karen Millen, you'll be part of a passionate, creative, and supportive team that values fresh ideas and collaboration. This is an exciting opportunity to grow your career in fashion communications and make a tangible impact on a global brand.
