Calm under pressure with sharp attention to detail.
Confident communicator who loves building relationships.
A genuine passion for fashion, trends, and product.
Personable, friendly, and proactive - someone who thrives in a team but can also take ownership.
This is your chance to gain hands-on exposure to buying, develop supplier relationships, and set the foundations for a successful career in fashion.
