CRM Manager in Southampton

White Stuff was established in 1985 through a simple idea. That idea grew into a unique fashion and lifestyle brand, with shops and concessions across the UK and internationally, selling womens and mens clothing alongside distinctive accessories and homeware.

We are sociable, talented, collaborative and non-hierarchical in how we work. We encourage entrepreneurial ideas, accountability at all levels, and a shared drive to create a business we are proud of.
