Contenido de trabajo

At Maasmechelen Village, we are looking for a Senior Retail Manager with strong relationships building skills that can develop and maintain a strong partnership with our Brands (brand staff, management and headquarters).

As our Senior Retail Manager, you will oversee daily retail management by managing your own portfolio of brands. You will do this by supporting new store openings and ensuring correct ‘unit handover’ through approval of the brands. Teamwork is key. You will work closely with all our departments, especially our marketing team on marketing campaigns to drive and maximize sales and footfall in our Village. Your creativity will make you want to provide new ideas for special events, holiday promotions, and other marketing initiatives by being aware of the latest fashion trends and important retail related calendar dates.

The main objective is to improve our brands sales, in-store merchandising and presentation, customer services/sales, and inventory turnover.
