White Stuff was established in 1985 through a simple idea. This idea grew and now we have shops and concessions in the UK and internationally, selling women’s and men’s clothing as well as beautiful accessories and homeware. Our original prints (all designed in house), intricate details and considered design touches reflect our personality and make us subtly distinctive.

Our people are at the heart of our brand, constantly moving and driving us forward. We’re sociable, talented and like-minded and we’re not hierarchical or political in how we do business. We encourage entrepreneurial ideas and accountability at all levels.

Primary objective of the job:

The Ecommerce Trading Assistant makes sure every new line goes live correctly and on time, and helps build, merchandise and maintain the site so product information, content and assets are always accurate.

• Update and manage hotspots across the site.

Email & CRM

• Check stock availability for products featured in CRM emails and flag any low-stock or out-of-stock lines before send.

• Check product links and content in emails before approval.

Team & ad-hoc

• Keep launch and issue trackers up to date so the team always knows what is live and what needs fixing.

• Support the rest of the Ecommerce team with ad-hoc tasks and projects.

What you’ll need:

• Some experience in an ecommerce, retail, content or admin role – or a strong interest in starting a career in ecommerce
