Head of Merchandising

FMCG & Homeware Retailer | Entrepreneurial Culture | Heritage Brand

Take ownership. Cut through red tape. Help a 100-year-old retailer think like a challenger brand.

We're working with a well-established FMCG and homeware retailer with over 100 years of heritage - a business that has stood the test of time by doing the right thing for its customers, colleagues and communities. Now, they're looking for a Head of Merchandising to help take the business into its next phase of growth - scaling the operation, modernising how things are done, and bringing a more agile, entrepreneurial way of thinking to merchandising. This is not a corporate, heavily layered environment. It's a business that values ownership, common sense and action .
