• Leading from the front on the floor, personally driving sales through a consultative approach
• Setting high standards while building a positive, customer obsessed culture
• Partnering with visual merchandising on showroom presentation and changeovers
• Overseeing stock, inventory accuracy and the end to end customer journey

What we are looking for

• A genuine player coach, visible on the floor and strong at holding a team accountable
• Proven retail leadership, ideally within premium or luxury environments
• Commercial fluency and confidence owning showroom performance and P&L
• Experience in premium furniture, interiors or considered purchase retail is highly attractive, although exceptional leaders from other premium environments are welcome
• New store opening experience is a strong advantage

Interviews are moving quickly, with an ideal start in early October ahead of the November opening.
