About the role

Next Sourcing

We’re so much more than just a British retailer. From Istanbul to Shanghai, our Sourcing teams live

and work in some of the most iconic cities in the world.

They're at the heart of finding, developing and delivering the apparel our customers love, wear and use every day. Located across the globe, our Next Sourcing teams specialise in all different parts of the sourcing operation, from design to product development. If you’ve always wanted to live and work abroad, this is the opportunity you’ve been looking for.

From identifying new trends to sourcing exciting new suppliers, our Product Managers are there to

lend expert direction at every stage of the design process.

This is senior position in the company and reports into the General Manager. You will manage and guide a team of PMs, APM, designer and a Sample Room Supervisor. In addition to managing the team, the role will directly own and manage selected product categories, similar to other Product Managers, ensuring successful product strategy, execution, and business outcomes.

Responsibility:

Please Note: This role requires extensive knowledge of fashion range building. Do not apply if you do not have a background in the apparel industry. We will also consider potential a Product Manager position if requirements for Senior position are not met.
