• Keep a close eye on the German Home & Living market, including major retailers, product trends and evolving consumer expectations.
• Identify differences in preferences and trends across the main European markets to uncover opportunities for assortment localisation.
• Spot emerging trends and new product opportunities, making the most of the breadth of supply and sourcing capabilities in China.

• Excellent knowledge of the German market, consumer expectations, product trends and the competitive landscape.
• Ideally, experience at a major brick-and-mortar or omnichannel retailer, with hands-on experience in product selection and assortment building.
• A strong eye for product and sharp commercial instinct: you can tell which products will resonate with German consumers.
• Analytical and results-driven, able to turn market data and consumer insights into clear, concrete recommendations.
• At ease in an international, multicultural environment, ideally with experience working with teams in China or Asia.
• Excellent communication and influencing skills, with the ability to build strong relationships across markets and cultures.
