    • Debenhams

      Aug 2011 - Mar 2014
      Supervisor

      I was accepted onto the Graduate Trainee program within Debenhams, before moving to a supervisory job within the Lingerie department. During this, I have experience in managing both established and new members of staff, managing rotas and timesheets, prioritising workload and delegating jobs where necessary. I have also trained new members of staff over a busy peak trading period. I have learnt to have a high attention to detail within tasks, as well as maintaining high standards across my department. I can interpret reports and react to figures in order to protect and maximise sales. Show less

    • Clinique

      Apr 2014 - Oct 2015
      Business Manager

      My current job is to ensure that my counter achieves targets, hits KPIs and is a strong representation of the Clinique brand. I take pride in motivating my team to excel in these areas, which I feel I do in a creative and engaging manner. I use my skills to coach and develop my team, having conversations to check in with progress and motivate to achieve targets. I organise events on counter to drive return business, loyalty to counter and incremental money to the business. I launch new products with the team's full backing and enthusiasm. I plan these events by analysing figures and data that I have in order to get the most from the event. I am currently working on progression plans to develop talent within my team to benefit the wider business. I am very confident in the administrative side of management such as rotas to fit the needs of the business, reading and analysing reports and taking appropriate action and T&A. I do not just assign targets that are give to me; I actively set the counter targets based on previous performance, upcoming launches, events, retailer exclusives, etc. I can read a report and understand where opportunities lie to grow my business.
