By adopting the values of Style & Truth across the whole business - from recruitment to product - we safeguard the long term health of the brand and we create more than just fashion.

A bit about us

Founded in 1970, Jigsaw was the first premium fashion brand on the high street. Since then, the company has expanded worldwide to work with the finest mills, cutting edge photographers, up-and-coming models and renowned architects. But the search for the best in the industry never stops. As our journey continues, we're looking for passionate and talented people to learn about Style & Truth: a set of values that sets us apart from the rest of the high street, a belief that everyone should feel empowered to embrace their own style, be true to themselves, and not slavishly follow the fashion world. This means putting style before trends and truth before hype.

We are looking for a Fixed Term (6 Months) Store Manager (40 Hours) to join our team in Springfields Outlet in Spalding.
