Retail and Activation Regional Manager
An exciting chance to help Jellycat deliver the exciting retail activations we're famous for.
For a quarter of a century, the Jellycat family have brought joy, wonder and playful fun to people of all ages, in every part of the world. Utterly original and in a class of their own, they are currently among the most loved and collected toys of their kind. How has this gentle tribe endeared themselves to so many? Perhaps it is their whimsical expressions. Or the deliciously soft fabrics. Or the beautiful way in which they sit in your hand. Whatever it is, there is something magical and unmistakeable about each one of them.
We’re looking for a Retail and Activation Regional Manager to support the planning, coordination and delivery of retail projects across Jellycat stores and partner locations. Working closely with our Brand & Activations and Retail Operations teams, you’ll take ownership of multiple projects, turning briefs into clear actions and ensuring the successful delivery of store initiatives, rollouts and retail experiences that bring the Jellycat brand to life.

Monitoring project progress, identifying risks and supporting solutions to keep delivery on schedule.
Driving collaboration across teams to ensure successful project execution and outstanding retail experiences.
