The opportunity

London College of Fashion have been nurturing creative talent for over a century. To ensure this continues we have an exciting opportunity for a fashion retail management, marketing and brand management specialist with expertise in directing retail customer experience across channels and touchpoints to support the delivery of our dynamic global fashion retailing course.

The MA Global Fashion Retailing course at London College of Fashion is for students aspiring to enter a career in omnichannel fashion retailing. As a Lecturer on this academically rigorous course, you will play a key role equipping students with the knowledge, skills and capabilities demanded by fashion retailers operating in an increasingly competitive, complex and unpredictable global environment.

You will undertake a teaching programme that provides academic and pastoral support to students, exploring and examining retail strategy and operations, internationalisation, brand management, consumer insights, responsible retailing, retail analytics, omnichannel retailing and creative retail futures, with a focus on sustainability, innovation and disruption within the retail business.  
Your wider remit will also cover unit management, supporting course leaders in the planning and development of the curriculum and contributing to research in fashion retail, marketing and branding. The role will also include teaching across the Fashion Business School portfolio of undergraduate and postgraduate courses.

About you

Expertise and experience in retail management, retail marketing, and/or retail visual communication, related to fashion retailers is essential. In-depth knowledge and applied understanding of the retail customer experience across channels and touchpoints is also essential. A keen interest in innovation and digitalisation as drivers of omnichannel retailing and retail change is desirable.
Ideally you will also have extensive experience in working in fashion retailing either in management, brand management or visual communication across channels, and project management, or extensive experience as an educator in Retail management/ Marketing/Brand management teaching at Level 6 / final year or Level 7.
