Keeping the sample tracker up to date and chasing factories so deadlines are met

Keeping the showroom beautifully presented, including seasonal mannequin refreshes

Photographing and tracking samples sent to clients and brand ambassadors, and managing returns

Helping with model fittings, client care guides, measuring sessions and installations

What you’ll need

Excellent organisation and a sharp eye for detail, so nothing leaves without everything it needs

A forward-planning approach and the persistence to follow up until it’s done

Confidence with Zedonk, spreadsheets and trackers (sample or PO experience is a bonus)

Clear, confident communication with factories, suppliers and colleagues

A real interest in garments, construction, fabrics and trims

An eye for presentation

Why join?
You’ll be at the heart of the sampling process for a growing international brand, gaining hands-on experience from factory brief to client presentation. It’s a brilliant foundation for a career in product or production.
