Our Buying and Merchandising teams are not only aligned with our Harrods values & invested in curating the very best product ranges, but they are on a mission to strengthen the Harrods reputation as the World’s Number One luxury store. They operate at the core of our business and, as the Resourcing Partner dedicated to this area, you will need to support all permanent recruitment needs and act as an ambassador for best practice. This is a fast paced, strategic role, critical to the success of our Resourcing strategy and the wider business.
