Shop floor and showroom roles focus on customer interaction, product presentation, and driving sales. These are store-based roles where staff support customers with styling advice, sizing, and product knowledge, while also maintaining visual merchandising standards and assisting with in-store events. Showroom Coordinators play a key role behind the scenes, managing scheduling, admin, and supporting seasonal market plans to help present collections to buyers or press.
