Salary: Up to £41,000 basic plus excellent bonus structure and benefits

Reference: SW - 3057/7

Date added: 3 hours ago

A leading travel retailer is hiring a commercial/product manager for one of its high-profile, multi-million-pound flagship locations. Known for its exclusive beauty and luxury product ranges, the business is outperforming market trends and consistently exceeding sales forecasts—even in a challenging retail climate.

This is not your typical store management role. As commercial/product manager, you’ll take ownership of how space is used across the store to drive sales and profit. Your focus will be on optimising product placement, range, and stock holding using data-led decisions. You’ll analyse sales trends, bestsellers, and profit per linear metre to improve performance across key categories.

You’ll also work closely with multiple premium brands that operate in-store on a concession basis—building strong relationships to align on layout, promotions, and commercial targets. Internally, you’ll collaborate with buying, merchandising, space planning and the in-store team.

We’re looking for someone who:
- Comes from a fast-paced retail background (e.g. fast fashion or high street)
- Has strong commercial acumen and is confident using sales data to plan layouts, space and stock depth
- Understands how to maximise sales and GP per metre
- Enjoys working cross-functionally and influencing stakeholders
- Is proactive, performance-driven and solutions-focused

In return, you’ll join a company known for its great culture and industry-leading team retention. You’ll work 38.5 hours per week, with only one weekend in three. This is a 12 month fixed term contract. Salary is up to £41,000 with a strong bonus of £8,200, 25+8 days, medical, life assurance to name a few of the many benefits.

If you're ready to step into a more strategic, commercially-focused role while still staying close to product and customers, apply now.
