  • Managing admin, system updates, approvals, and supporting product sign-offs and fit sessions
  • Conducting trend research and competitor shopping to stay ahead of market movements
  • Collaborating cross-functionally with Merchandising, Design, Marketing, E-commerce, and Customer Services

This is a full-time role, based at Head Office 4 days per week with 1 day WFH.
