About the role: You will provide seamless, end‑to‑end administrative support to the Chief Merchandise Officer (CMO) and Chief Product Officer (CPO), ensuring their time, priorities, and obligations are managed effectively. This includes complex diary and inbox management, preparing briefing materials, coordinating meetings and travel, and handling confidential correspondence with discretion. From time to time, this role may require occasional after‑hours work to address genuine urgent business needs. Using strong commercial awareness and sound judgement, you’ll anticipate needs, identify potential risks, and proactively manage shifting priorities. Your ability to connect information across both portfolios will support alignment, efficiency, and forward planning. You will provide leadership and coordination to a team of Executive Assistants, ensuring high‑quality, consistent support across the wider leadership groups. You’ll foster a culture of collaboration, accountability, and continuous improvement. As a key point of contact for internal and external stakeholders, you will represent the office with professionalism and credibility. You’ll cultivate trusted relationships at all levels — from board members and senior leaders to external partners and cross‑functional teams. You will play a critical role in streamlining processes, improving administrative workflows, and enabling effective time and resource management. This includes preparing reports and presentations, managing budgets and expenses, and supporting operational initiatives across the Merchandise and Product portfolios. You’ll draft and coordinate executive‑level communications and support the planning and delivery of important business events, including leadership off‑sites, strategic planning sessions, town halls and sample sales.

You’re an experienced Executive Assistant who thrives in fast‑paced, dynamic environments and takes real pride in helping senior leaders perform at their best. Ideally, you’ve supported leaders in Merchandise or a similar commercial environment, and you’re confident leading or coordinating others when needed. You’re someone people trust, a natural relationship‑builder who can work seamlessly with senior stakeholders, handle sensitive information with absolute discretion, and exercise exceptional judgement. You are commercially savvy and curious, you understand how businesses operate and can quickly connect the dots to anticipate what’s coming next. You’re comfortable navigating change, ambiguity, and shifting priorities, and you bring a steady, solutions‑focused approach to every challenge. You’re highly skilled in Microsoft 365, Outlook, Teams, Excel, PowerPoint, and SharePoint and your communication skills (both written and verbal) set you apart. Detail matters to you, and it shows. Most importantly, you bring a positive attitude, a willingness to learn, and the confidence to work both independently and as part of a collaborative, high‑performing team. Experience in large, complex, or publicly listed organisations is a bonus, and if you’ve worked in retail, even better — but it’s not essential.
