ABOUT THE BUSINESS:
Yours Clothing is a retailer that provides the best value on the UK high street and internet for curvy customers. With a developing presence across our founding brand but with the addition of menswear brand, BadRhino, petite brand PixieGirl and the global development of our acquired Long Tall Sally, M&Co and Evans brands, the business is growing at pace.
Our continued success comes from our entrepreneurial thinking and listening to our customers to deliver fashion products at the right price. Our environment is fast paced, ever evolving and full of excitement. As the UK’s fastest growing fashion retailer, the business continues to expand both the established and new brands.
WHAT IS THE ROLE:
As a business founded on the high street, retail stores play a key role in the business and are very important as we continue to grow. Whilst online markets develop, the unique nature of our retail offer means that our customers love to shop our stores, and we continue to evolve our offer within our existing stores and new locations to accommodate growth in both single and multiple brand formats.
We are looking to fill this new role with a commercially savvy self-starter who has a hands-on approach.

3. Analyse and present potential locations and properties following a detailed investigation and analysis of the potential for revenue generation and brand fit
4. Lead the end-to-end process of property acquisition, from identifying potential locations and properties that best fit the target brand to negotiating leases and finalising terms and contracts.
5. Through effective networking, build and maintain relationships within the property sector to be best placed to negotiate favourable terms
6. Engage and communicate with key stakeholders to ensure that new acquisitions are ready to trade quickly, and any action required due to a lease event is effectively communicated in a sensitive and timely manner
WHAT YOU WILL BRING:
7. Commercial acumen and strong negotiation skills
8. Demonstrable experience in a retail property acquisition role
9. Develop store optimization strategy
10. Up to date market knowledge of the retail store landscape
11. Ability to analyse and present key store performance metrics
12. Understanding of property law, regulations and leasing practices
