As an integral part of the operation, you will support the movement, preparation and dispatch of luxury purchases, helping to keep our Private Shopping service running seamlessly behind the scenes. With varied responsibilities, this is an excellent opportunity for someone with a proactive mindset, strong work ethic and a desire to learn and develop as part of a supportive and collaborative team.
Reporting to the Operations Manager, you will support the day-to-day running of our Private Shopping function, helping to ensure everything behind the scenes runs smoothly after a client purchase has been made.

Key responsibilities include:
This role is perfect for someone who is eager to learn, approaches new challenges with enthusiasm and initiative, and takes pride in supporting a team behind the scenes.
Previous stock experience is not essential. Instead, we're looking for someone with a strong work ethic, a proactive mindset and a willingness to learn. You'll thrive in a fast-moving environment where priorities can change quickly and every day brings something different. As a hands-on and active role, you'll spend much of your day on the move, supporting the smooth running of our Private Shopping operation.

Harrods is one of the world’s leading luxury department stores and we’re becoming a destination for top designers, and the most sought-after brands from around the globe. Our combined mission is to make visiting our iconic Knightsbridge store one of the world’s most inspiring shopping experiences.
Share our drive to create seemingly impossible luxury experiences for customers, then this will be a hugely important move for you. As well as the chance to learn from true retail experts, you’ll have the satisfaction of working with world-class brands and a team that’s setting the standards for the industry.
As you build a long-lasting career with us, you will enjoy a package that includes 22 days’ holiday (rising to 27 days) and your birthday off, up to 33% Harrods’ discount, plus access to a competitive pension.
Whilst our job adverts outline the ideal qualities, skills, and prior experience for the role, we believe in the potential for growth and value individual strengths. If you can demonstrate the majority of skills and strong experience to thrive in this role, we would encourage you to apply.
