Senior Visual Merchandising Lead in Bicester

Senior Visual Merchandiser

Banbury / Bicester
Competitive salary + benefits
Fashion | Accessories | Lifestyle

This is a brilliant opportunity for a Senior Visual Merchandiser who wants to genuinely own the VM remit, rather than simply execute a brief created elsewhere.

We're partnering with a fast-paced, entrepreneurial fashion and accessories business looking for someone to take real ownership of how its brands show up across retail.

This is NOT a role where you'll simply:

• Receive a VM pack from Head Office




• Follow pre-set planograms




• Implement somebody else's creative direction

Instead, you'll OWN it.

You'll be responsible for shaping the visual merchandising approach from concept through to execution, including:

• Creating the VM strategy and seasonal direction




• Developing guidelines, principles and brand standards




• Owning product placement, layouts and customer journey




• Translating launches and campaigns into compelling retail environments




• Making commercial decisions based on product performance and customer behaviour




• Working closely with Retail, Brand, Marketing and Product teams




• Visiting stores and ensuring standards are delivered consistently




• Coaching store teams to understand the why, not just the execution




• Continually evolving the VM approach as the retail estate grows

Who we're looking for

You'll already have strong VM experience within fashion, accessories, beauty or another design-led consumer brand, but importantly, you'll have operated beyond pure execution.

We want someone who can say:

"I created that approach, I made those decisions, and I owned how it landed in stores."

If you've been looking for a role where you can have genuine autonomy, influence and ownership of the full visual merchandising remit, I'd love to speak with you.
