The brand currently operates at around £5-7m turnover with a talented team of 15-20, and is now ready for a strategic, hands-on and commercially minded General Manager who has experience operating at, or scaling towards, a £50m+ retail environment.

Key Responsibilities:
Full P&L ownership, budgeting and forecasting
Lead all operational and commercial teams across web, retail, finance, logistics and data
Identify growth opportunities across wholesale, international expansion and brand partnerships
Drive KPI performance: conversion, AOV, return rates, inventory turn, customer experience
