• Contributing to collection launches and special installations, including evening and overnight visual merchandising activities when required.
• Building strong partnerships with boutique, merchandising and marketing teams to ensure a seamless and consistent expression of the CHANEL Fashion universe.
• Contributing to the ongoing and companywide vision of sustainability.

• Previous experience within visual merchandising, preferably within luxury fashion or a premium retail environment.
• A strong appreciation and knowledge of fashion, art and culture, with an understanding of how these influence luxury client experiences.
• Excellent organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities in a dynamic retail environment.
• Strong attention to detail and a commitment to maintaining exceptional standards.
• Excellent communication and relationship building skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across different teams.

You are energised by:

• Delivering excellence through attention to detail and high standards.
• Building strong relationships and collaborating with a variety of stakeholders.
