Jigsaw International
Jigsaw Australia re-launched across 5 stores and a website in 2016; Jigsaw The Netherlands opened concessions within DeBijenkorf (Selfridges) shortly after, and we started our journey with Bloomingdales in the U.S.A in 2 locations. I also had oversight of new store openings in Ireland and a pop up in Paris, France.
As International Retail Manager, my role touched each area of the business. Projects included the recruitment, training and development of Country and Cluster Managers. Oversight of our new teams and the implementation of simple and effective retail operations. I also partnered with key stakeholders across the U.K business to ensure consistency in brand, visual marketing, local marketing and most importantly, customer experience.
It was also critical that I championed the differences and nuances in each market. With a keen focus on our product, assortment and the trading calendar, we lay the foundations for scale and growth in each country.
Locations included:
Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Canberra - Australia
Amsterdam, Utrecht, Eindhoven, Rotterdam - The Netherlands
Dublin - Ireland & Paris - France (pop up)
