Job description

hackajob is collaborating with Next Ltd to connect them with exceptional professionals for this role.

NEXT Wholly Owned Brands…

At NEXT Wholly Owned Brands, we’re a collective of London-based fashion and lifestyle brands. From our beginnings with Lipsy in 1998, to becoming part of the UK’s largest fashion retailer, NEXT, in 2008 we’ve evolved into a group of bold, design-led brands, each with its unique identity.

In 2020, NEXT Plc and Victoria’s Secret were delighted to enter into a joint venture, trading the iconic brand in stores and online with the UK. Following this, in 2021 we entered into a joint venture with GAP, relaunching the much-loved brand in the UK via online and stores across the UK.

At the heart of our business is a passionate team driven by creativity, innovation, and a shared ambition to deliver exceptional results. We foster a culture where individuality is celebrated, curiosity is encouraged, and challenging the status quo is part of how we grow.

Please note this role is a 12 Month Fixed Term Contract
