This is a rare shot at real ownership. You won’t be managing a queue of requests. You’ll be setting the insights agenda for two of the most ambitious categories inside a global fashion business, and the business is genuinely ready to listen.

Our client is a global premium lifestyle brand with a well-regarded, lean CMI function that punches well above its size. They’re mid-transformation, building segmentation and path-to-purchase foundations from the ground up, and looking for someone to help shape what comes next.

You’ll own insight strategy for two global fast-growing categories, working closely with brand, marketing and merchandising teams, and regional CMOs, without a regional CMI team to lean on. Expect to get properly hands-on: briefing agencies, reworking data tables, running your own analysis, and turning all of it into sharp, senior-ready stories. You’ll influence brand positioning and campaign thinking, not just report on it.

You’re commercially minded, hungry, and genuinely energised by a lean, fast-moving environment. You don’t wait to be asked. You spot the gap and go after it. You’re just as comfortable in a data table as you are in a room full of senior stakeholders, and you know how to translate one into the other. Background matters less than mindset here: what counts is curiosity, pace, and the confidence to push back when it’s needed.
