Studio Admin Assistant

Iconic British womenswear brand Shrimps is looking for an enthusiastic and organised Studio Admin Assistant to join their London-based team.

About Shrimps

Shrimps was launched in 2013 by London-based designer Hannah Weiland. Weiland is credited with bringing faux fur to the luxury sphere and has since grown Shrimps into a full RTW label, successfully branching into accessories, homeware and bridal. The brand has been involved in many high profile collaborations and has a core following amongst consumers and celebrities alike, who enjoy its niche, whimsical design aesthetic.

The Role

Supporting both the E-com/Marketing Manager and Operations/Production Manager, the successful candidate will work across a wide variety of departments and tasks including (but not limited to):

Shopify admin – adding collections, updating descriptions, working on SEO, managing stock availability, resizing images

Responding to customer service queries regarding orders and processing returns

Order processing for press, staff & wholesale

Wholesale store research and outreach, competitor research

Maintaining samples, logging and processing press loans

Assisting with sampling and production – sourcing, creating tech packs, communicating with suppliers, booking in shipments

Supporting progress towards improved sustainability and decarbonisation

General office / operational admin

This is a varied role working in a small team, where there are many opportunities to learn about luxury fashion business and to progress within the company.

This role would suit an individual who has recently graduated from a fashion and/or business related degree and/or has a maximum of 1-2 years’ experience in an assistant role, preferably in the fashion industry.
