Merchandising
Our Merchandising Team gets the right stock to the right place at the right time for the right price. As well as carrying out administrative duties, you will work alongside Buyers to deliver best-selling products and with Marketeers on exciting promotions and campaigns. It's about being commercial and customer-focused, using analysis and data to drive sales and grow market share.

You will manage our global suppliers, negotiating with stakeholders and managing the product lifecycle. If you have stellar communication skills and the drive to select best-selling products, Buying could be the career for you.
Design & Garment Tech
Our Designers take inspiration from catwalks, street fashion, bloggers and influencers. They work alongside Buyers and Merchandisers to turn ideas and trends into commercial product ranges. Our Technologists ensure these products are of the highest quality and fit, using innovative and sustainable materials. If you have an eye for design, pattern and colour, or a curiosity for materials and textures, join us today.
Why join us as an admin assistant?
I love being able to see the end-to-end product life-cycle from design all the way to final sample. The position of a Technical Admin Assistant involves a lot of admin-related tasks including paperwork, taking measurements and arranging meetings, this means I must be super organised for my job! I didn’t have any industry experience of this role prior to M&S and so have been trained from scratch by industry professionals!
