Managing Director / Global General Manager in Slough

Location: London, UK & Reports to: Founder / Creative Director

About Peachy Den

Peachy Den is an internationally recognised fashion brand with a strong creative vision and a growing global presence. The brand has built a distinctive identity that resonates across digital and physical retail spaces, with two stores in the UK (East London and Soho – Opening Feb 2026). We are seeking an experienced and highly capable Managing Director / Global General Manager to work directly with the Founder in London to scale the business, strengthen operations, and ensure the right resources, people, and processes are in place to drive sustainable and profitable growth. This is a pivotal leadership opportunity to help shape the next chapter of Peachy Den’s evolution, preserving its creative DNA while building the operational and commercial foundation for long-term global success, including the hands-on implementation of global expansion initiatives and entry into new territories and the scaling of a global wholesale business.

Key to success in this role is being a true “do-er” — a leader who drives implementation, turns ideas into action, and serves as the operational support system of the business. The Managing Director / General Manager will play a critical role in relieving pressure from the Founder, enabling them to focus on what they do best: creativity, brand direction, and product vision.

Role Overview

The Managing Director / Global General Manager will act as the Founder’s right hand and strategic partner, responsible for translating her creative vision into operational and commercial reality. This role requires a highly organised, commercially minded, and hands-on leader who can balance day-to-day execution with long-term scaling strategies. The GMD / GGM will function as the gatekeeper for communications and strategic direction across the organisation — ensuring clarity, accountability, and alignment among all global teams. The Managing Director / General Manager will help shape and implement Peachy Den’s next phase of growth: strengthening global structure, enhancing profitability, improving cash flow, and embedding systems and processes that support sustainable expansion, including the design, launch, and growth of a structured global wholesale channel, all while preserving the brand’s creativity and authenticity.
