KCR Group is a UK-based premium womenswear holding company operating two internationally recognised brands - Club L London and Lavish Alice - across 13 Shopify storefronts. The Group also owns Beyond Fulfilment, its UK fulfilment centre, giving KCR an integrated supply chain from production through to consumer delivery. Headquartered in Manchester with a growing presence in Dubai and a London Hub opening in September 2026, KCR is in an ambitious phase of international expansion across the EU, GCC, US, and Australia, with wholesale partnerships at Harvey Nichols, Bloomingdale's, and Ounass. As the business scales across multiple entities, markets, and functions, commercial rigour and disciplined spend management across every category are critical strategic priorities. This role has been created by the CEO directly in response to that need. The Role The Head of Group Commercial & Procurement is a newly created, senior individual contributor role and the first dedicated procurement hire in KCR Group's history. Reporting directly to the CEO with a dotted line to the CFO, this person will own the full commercial spend agenda across the entire group - from garment production and fulfilment through to technology platforms, creative agencies, professional services, and everything in between. The scope is intentionally broad. KCR is a multi-brand, multi-entity, multi-market business that has scaled rapidly without a centralised commercial function. The result is fragmented supplier relationships, unconsolidated spend, and significant untapped savings potential across nearly every category. This role exists to fix that - building the infrastructure, governance, and category strategies that bring discipline and commercial intelligence to how KCR spends its money. This is a hands on, high ownership role. The right person will be as comfortable renegotiating a logistics contract as they are reviewing SaaS licence renewals, challenging agency retainers, or presenting a savings roadmap to the CEO and CFO. Key Responsibilities Design and implement KCR Group's first formal procurement framework, covering all direct and indirect spend categories across both brands and all group entities Build a group wide

Principal Consultant- Corporate & Public Affairs and Advocacy, ERM Strategic Communications Agency, EMEA In-person London, England, GB 2 months ago Job Description ERM is the world's largest pure play sustainability consultancy, helping shape a sustainable future with the world's leading organizations. With over 8,000 consultants working in 140 countries, our clients receive best in class strategy and delivery support, enabled through subject matter expertise and a huge breadth of capability. We are constantly innovating to find new ways to help our clients achieve their ambitions. The expansion of our Strategic Communications offering into EMEA is one of our most exciting developments. Our team has a clearly defined purpose: to help businesses attain a market advantage through communications. Our ambition is to become the world's most impactful sustainability communications firm, and we are looking to recruit new colleagues who share our passion and entrepreneurial spirit. As part of the EMEA Communications Agency, you will join a small but growing UK based unit connected to a 50 strong US agency team and a wider global network of sustainability experts. We operate much like a disruptive start up, with a mandate to set our own strategy and build our growth plan - but with the investment and enablement of a $1 billion 'parent'. Our primary route to growth is through collaboration with ERM colleagues across the globe, who already advise the majority of the world's largest listed businesses and see opportunity for ERM to provide communications counsel, up selling our capabilities and enabling ERM to drive end to end consultancy throughout our clients' decarbonisation journeys. Much of the work we've delivered to date focuses on creating evidence based sustainability narratives that can enable a market advantage, by building reputation, supporting engagement and influencing behaviour. The audiences that our clients want to reach are varied, but typically prioritise investors, regulators and policy makers, NGOs and industry bodies, and B2B customers; and internally, the Board, Executive leadership teams and current & future employees. We have identified client need and a route to growth by strengthening our senior expertise in policy and industry influence and thus we are now seeking a Principal Consultant with a strong foundation in agency side corporate and public affairs, to lead the charge on new business development and client delivery in this sphere. The successful candidate will have an established record of winning work and advising clients on integrated briefs spanning strategic communications and public affairs. They will have a good understanding of policy and regulatory issues within sustainability and a minimum of 10 years' experience of influencing decisions around regulation, planning and sustainable infrastructure development, gained from operating in a fast paced, high stakes corporate PR agency environment. Key areas of responsibility Culture and leadership Be an accountable, responsive and proactive core member of the EMEA Agency team. Consider your role as a leader within an early stage business, in helping us to shape culture, values and identity through how you show up. Bring a passion for helping clients make an impact in the work they do, to support a more sustainable world. Be able to articulate the role you have played in doing this for previous clients. Be available, flexible and prepared to work across timezones. We are a small and non hierarchical team, you will be covering a breadth of capabilities and sectors; agility and the willingness to 'roll up sleeves' is critical. You may not always have access to junior support and will at times be working solo as part of a wider ERM project team. We grow through networking, primarily within ERM. You will invest time and energy in building your own relationships within the firm, testing and developing your offering in partnership with several hundred Partners who themselves hold the key to relationships with our most valued corporate clients. This role has been identified as a strategic growth hire. The expectation is that you will spend half of your time in the pursuit of new business, to be worked by you and our small team. You should be comfortable leading a pitch team, drafting a comprehensive proposal, scoping budgets and managing contract negotiation - with the help of the Comms Agency Partner Lead. You must have a flair for innovation and proven track record of taking new propositions to market. You should have a hunger for business growth, a sound understanding of agency commercials and strong experience of scoping and delivering profitable work. We have identified growth potential in the field of corporate and public affairs. Specifically, we see a need to support ERM clients with: Growth opportunities Helping them position themselves through communicating with regulators, policy makers and political influencers, with a view to leveraging climate and social impact issues, policies and frameworks to enable business goals. Building cross industry coalitions with competitors and peers to shape perceptions and influence decision making. Engage with trade bodies and draw on their networks to support clients. Demonstration of advising membership organisations is welcome. Identify and build engagement programmes with influential NGOs and special interest organisations - and advise clients on how to handle NGO investigations and reputational threats. Shaping and engaging with local community and local authority / planning decision makers to protect and promote client interests around critical infrastructure projects (e.g., renewables; data centres). It is expected that this candidate will have their own views on how to shape this proposition, and these should be presented as part of the interview process. Within your mandate will be a need to market your own expertise. You will be expected to attend industry events, create thought leadership content for media and social media publication and leverage your own network for ERM's gain. As you win business, you will become the primary day to day lead on a range of client projects and retainers, most of which will be communications mandates delivered as part of a larger ERM programme of work. You will be expected to retain and grow these relationships. Given our size and stage of growth we all have to 'jump in'.

Principal Consultant- Corporate & Public Affairs and Advocacy, ERM Strategic Communications Agency, EMEA In-person London, England, GB 2 months ago Job Description ERM is the world's largest pure play sustainability consultancy, helping shape a sustainable future with the world's leading organizations. With over 8,000 consultants working in 140 countries, our clients receive best in class strategy and delivery support, enabled through subject matter expertise and a huge breadth of capability. We are constantly innovating to find new ways to help our clients achieve their ambitions. The expansion of our Strategic Communications offering into EMEA is one of our most exciting developments. Our team has a clearly defined purpose: to help businesses attain a market advantage through communications. Our ambition is to become the world's most impactful sustainability communications firm, and we are looking to recruit new colleagues who share our passion and entrepreneurial spirit. As part of the EMEA Communications Agency, you will join a small but growing UK based unit connected to a 50 strong US agency team and a wider global network of sustainability experts. We operate much like a disruptive start up, with a mandate to set our own strategy and build our growth plan - but with the investment and enablement of a $1 billion 'parent'. Our primary route to growth is through collaboration with ERM colleagues across the globe, who already advise the majority of the world's largest listed businesses and see opportunity for ERM to provide communications counsel, up selling our capabilities and enabling ERM to drive end to end consultancy throughout our clients' decarbonisation journeys. Much of the work we've delivered to date focuses on creating evidence based sustainability narratives that can enable a market advantage, by building reputation, supporting engagement and influencing behaviour. The audiences that our clients want to reach are varied, but typically prioritise investors, regulators and policy makers, NGOs and industry bodies, and B2B customers; and internally, the Board, Executive leadership teams and current & future employees. We have identified client need and a route to growth by strengthening our senior expertise in policy and industry influence and thus we are now seeking a Principal Consultant with a strong foundation in agency side corporate and public affairs, to lead the charge on new business development and client delivery in this sphere. The successful candidate will have an established record of winning work and advising clients on integrated briefs spanning strategic communications and public affairs. They will have a good understanding of policy and regulatory issues within sustainability and a minimum of 10 years' experience of influencing decisions around regulation, planning and sustainable infrastructure development, gained from operating in a fast paced, high stakes corporate PR agency environment. Key areas of responsibility Culture and leadership Be an accountable, responsive and proactive core member of the EMEA Agency team. Consider your role as a leader within an early stage business, in helping us to shape culture, values and identity through how you show up. Bring a passion for helping clients make an impact in the work they do, to support a more sustainable world. Be able to articulate the role you have played in doing this for previous clients. Be available, flexible and prepared to work across timezones. We are a small and non hierarchical team, you will be covering a breadth of capabilities and sectors; agility and the willingness to 'roll up sleeves' is critical. You may not always have access to junior support and will at times be working solo as part of a wider ERM project team. We grow through networking, primarily within ERM. You will invest time and energy in building your own relationships within the firm, testing and developing your offering in partnership with several hundred Partners who themselves hold the key to relationships with our most valued corporate clients. This role has been identified as a strategic growth hire. The expectation is that you will spend half of your time in the pursuit of new business, to be worked by you and our small team. You should be comfortable leading a pitch team, drafting a comprehensive proposal, scoping budgets and managing contract negotiation - with the help of the Comms Agency Partner Lead. You must have a flair for innovation and proven track record of taking new propositions to market. You should have a hunger for business growth, a sound understanding of agency commercials and strong experience of scoping and delivering profitable work. We have identified growth potential in the field of corporate and public affairs. Specifically, we see a need to support ERM clients with: Growth opportunities Helping them position themselves through communicating with regulators, policy makers and political influencers, with a view to leveraging climate and social impact issues, policies and frameworks to enable business goals. Building cross industry coalitions with competitors and peers to shape perceptions and influence decision making. Engage with trade bodies and draw on their networks to support clients. Demonstration of advising membership organisations is welcome. Identify and build engagement programmes with influential NGOs and special interest organisations - and advise clients on how to handle NGO investigations and reputational threats. Shaping and engaging with local community and local authority / planning decision makers to protect and promote client interests around critical infrastructure projects (e.g., renewables; data centres). It is expected that this candidate will have their own views on how to shape this proposition, and these should be presented as part of the interview process. Within your mandate will be a need to market your own expertise. You will be expected to attend industry events, create thought leadership content for media and social media publication and leverage your own network for ERM's gain. As you win business, you will become the primary day to day lead on a range of client projects and retainers, most of which will be communications mandates delivered as part of a larger ERM programme of work. You will be expected to retain and grow these relationships. Given our size and stage of growth we all have to 'jump in'. You may find yourself supporting more clients on internal comms, narrative development or sustainability reporting projects than public affairs until you have grown that proposition.
