Assistant Store Leader - Visual Merchandising

SKIMS
Central London

SKIMS is a solutions-oriented brand creating the next generation of underwear, loungewear, shapewear, and essentials. We are setting new standards through technically innovative, comfort-driven products with elevated design for everybody.

At the intersection of culture, innovation, and commerce, SKIMS is redefining modern apparel. Our teams are built on creativity, collaboration, and operational excellence, and we are committed to fostering an inclusive, high-performance environment where ambitious, curious individuals can do the best work of their careers.

Assistant Store Leaders play a key role in delivering an elevated retail experience while driving operational excellence and commercial performance. In flagship environments such as Regent Street, Assistant Store Leaders partner closely with the Store Leader to translate broader retail strategy into strong in-store execution.

This role requires a balance of strategic thinking, operational discipline, and people leadership to ensure the store performs at the highest level while delivering an exceptional customer experience.

Strategic Leadership
In a flagship environment, Assistant Store Leaders operate with the mindset of a Store Leader within a smaller footprint. They support the development and execution of store strategies
aligned with broader retail priorities, ensuring the store performs at a global SKIMS standard.

Team Leadership & Escalation Ownership
Assistant Store Leaders provide leadership to Supervisors and Team Members and serve as the first point of escalation for operational, customer, and team-related matters. They model exceptional service and foster a culture of accountability, purpose, and belonging.

Building High- Performing, Inclusive Teams

Assistant Store Leaders support the development of diverse, high-performing teams through inclusive leadership, coaching, and clear expectations that empower team members to grow and succeed.

Operational Excellence & Compliance

Assistant Store Leaders maintain accountability for operational excellence across the store. They ensure company policies, safety standards, and loss prevention protocols are upheld while protecting company assets in a high-volume environment.

Cross functional Partnerships

Strong communication and stakeholder management are essential. Assistant Store Leaders partner with Retail Operations, Allocation, Visual Merchandising, and People & Culture to ensure store execution aligns with business priorities and brand standards.

Visual Merchandising Assistant Store Leader

The Visual Merchandising Assistant Store Leader owns the visual strategy and product presentation within the store, ensuring the floor reflects the SKIMS brand while driving commercial performance.
