Assistant Store Manager

At Asket, our vision is a world free of mindless consumption. To get there, we are on a mission to slow down the fashion industry by creating one permanent collection of garments that last longer, do better by people and planet, and allow us to live fulfilled with less.

As an Assistant Manager of our London store, you will be a key player in achieving our brand mission and play a pivotal role in manifesting our brand ethos in our first physical store outside of Sweden.

Rather than just another transactional store, the Asket store aims to create an in-depth experience with, and conversation around, our garments, leaving the customer to invest in them on his or her terms; in-store, from home - or not at all. You'll play a key role in replicating the exceptional service level that visitors of our current store have come to experience, as well as assist the Store Manager to develop it further. Your task is to translate our ethos into a world-class in-store experience, catering both to existing customers and people new to our brand and mission. As Assistant Store Manager, your responsibilities include being present and a role model in the day-to-day as well as assist the Store Manager in managing ongoing store operations.

You're joining an ambitious, dynamic, and deeply caring team on a high-paced and challenging journey to fundamentally change the way we manufacture, market, and consume garments today.
