Office Manager | BuyerCollectif clothing
- London, United KingdomFull Time
As Collectif is an independent growing company I focused on multiple roles within the business, multi tasking is something I take in my stride. My core responsibility as Office Manager was to support the M.D in overseeing the Head Office and warehouse teams. In addition to this I managed online retail promotions. As Buyer my focus was to select new products, ensuring they were delivered to the right place at the right time and tracking product performance. I selected suppliers, negotiated prices and managed invoice payment.
