As our Business Operations Associate, you'll support projects across every area of the business. This role is ideal for an organised, commercially minded person early in their career who has a startup mindset — someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, rolls up their sleeves, and wants exposure to all facets of a growing fashion company.
No two days are the same. You'll work closely with the founders and leadership team while taking ownership of projects across the business.
We're looking for someone who enjoys being hands-on, is naturally curious, and is eager to learn. If your first instinct is to figure out how something works, find a better way to do it, and take ownership, you'll fit right in with how we think and work.
HOW WE APPROACH BUSINESS OPERATIONS
We move fast and figure things out, using initiative and resourcefulness rather than waiting for a playbook.
We care about understanding what's working, what's not, and where we can improve our processes and systems over time.
We're a small team that works closely together, pays attention to the details, and takes pride in the quality of our work.
You'll work closely with the wider team and founders, giving you the opportunity to learn quickly, take ownership, and make meaningful contributions.

REQUIREMENTS
