Our combined mission is to make visiting our iconic Knightsbridge store one of the world’s most inspiring shopping experiences. The environment sets Harrods apart, the personal attention we lavish on every customer, and our people’s unrivalled product knowledge and passion for exemplary service, all helps put our retail team into a league of their own, allowing them to be themselves through passion, expertise and creativity
Our Promise to You
Help us make the impossible possible for our customers and we’ll do something remarkable for you. As well as offering a friendly environment to inspire your best work, we provide abundant opportunities and support to build an exceptional career across the varied specialisms of our business.
