Assistant Store Manager (M/F) - Permanent - London

I’ve had the joy of building Sézane alongside you - the first French fashion brand born online, rooted in quality, creativity, and intention.

To tell the story of Sézane is to retrace more than 20 years of defining adventures and bold decisions: choosing to do things differently, choosing people, choosing to act, and above all, choosing to trust in one’s convictions - even when that means rethinking what we thought we knew.

Sézane is more than a fashion brand. It’s a story of life - mine, yours, and all those who shape it every day.

To continue to co-construct the next chapter and beyond, we are looking for creative, organized and agile talents, who share our passion to perpetually improve all that can be.

Care to imagine what comes next with us? We can't wait to hear from you!
