Opportunities to join us
As a major retail business, there are many places to join us besides our stores,
from the Merchandising team to the Finance department. Here’s what a few of our
people have to say about what’s happening in their part of the business.
Commercial
“It’s about delivering high-fashion outdoor products that our growing target
audience can’t wait to get their hands on. From restructuring our Buying and
Merchandising team around product lines, to negotiating with new suppliers in
the Far East, we’re doing everything to make this happen.”
Commercial Director – Boardwear
Retail Operations
“New is the key word in Retail Operations. We’ve got new Concept Stores.
A revolutionary – and market leading new bonus scheme. A new dynamic field team.
And new opportunities for ambitious retailers who enjoy having real autonomy and
working at pace.”
Director of Retail Operations
E-Commerce, Telesales & Customer Services
“Only 1.6% of our sales are online. We plan to transform this figure, introducing
a whole new audience who won’t even have to leave home to get their hands on
outdoor fashion. This is an exciting time for the Multi-Channel team. We have plans
to dramatically increase direct sales by improving the customer experience through
building new websites and enhancing our processes and systems.”
Ecommerce Director
IT
“We’re responsible for ensuring the business has the best systems and
applications at its disposal to help us in our aim to take the outdoor market by storm.”
IT Director
Marketing
“From our merchandising to the radical new look in stores, everything
we do is playing a vital role in making the outdoors sexy.”
Commercial Director – Boardwear
Finance
“We’re a business going through dramatic change – which means big opportunities
for those in finance. Retail is a fast-paced machine and it’s our job to work in
the most effective way to provide financial support at all ends of the business.
You not only need to have a good head for figures but to be able to use
financial information in a commercial way.”
Finance Director
HR
“Creativity and commercialism are the two must-haves for everyone working at
Blacks Leisure Group right now. It’s our job to attract and nurture people with
these qualities.”
