This is a great opportunity for someone who is organised, detail-focused and interested in building a career within the fashion industry.

You'll support Account Managers and the wider Sales team with everything from processing customer orders and preparing sales documents to tracking deliveries and communicating with internal teams.

Previous fashion industry experience isn't essential. We're interested in candidates with strong administration and communication skills, as well as graduates from fashion, textiles, buying, merchandising or related courses looking for their first commercial role.

Confidence working with different teams and managing multiple priorities
Good Microsoft Office skills, particularly Excel
A proactive approach and confidence using your own initiative
The ability to work accurately while managing a busy workload

A degree or qualification in Fashion, Fashion Business, Textiles, Buying & Merchandising, Fashion Management or a related subject would be particularly relevant, but isn't required.

Experience with Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software would be useful but isn't essential.
