The Brand |
Our client is a leading Australian fashion and lifestyle retailer, known for its considered collections across womenswear, menswear, childrenswear and accessories. With a strong presence nationally and internationally, the brand is celebrated for its distinctive aesthetic, quality product and inspiring retail environments.
An exciting opportunity has opened for a State Visual Merchandiser to oversee South Australia and Tasmania on a fixed-term contract.
Based in Adelaide with a Monday-Friday roster, this is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Visual Merchandiser or creatively driven Area Manager ready to take the next step, gain multi-state exposure and further develop their leadership capability within an established retail business.
The Role |
Reporting to the State Operations Manager based in South Australia, you will take ownership of visual merchandising standards and execution across SA and TAS, leading a team of four Visual Merchandisers.
With a portfolio spanning both standalone boutiques and department store concessions, this role will have a strong focus on delivering consistent brand presentation, inspiring product storytelling and commercially effective visual merchandising.
You will:
Lead, coach and develop a team of four Visual Merchandisers across South Australia and Tasmania.
