With the fast expansion of Hong Kong's luxury retail market over the past few years, there is an increased demand across the city for quality middle-management level staff, with companies fast-tracking promotions to fill these positions.

Harvey Nichols is recruiting experienced buyers and merchandisers seeking to work in the international fashion store - with over 100 years of heritage and outlets in 12 cosmopolitan cities - and to support the company mission of creating the ultimate shopping experience, with cutting-edge concepts and meticulously selected retail brands across fashion, beauty, home wares and food.

"We would like our team members to work and manage their responsibilities as an entrepreneur would, with initiative and the motivation to exceed expectations and strive for perfection. Staff should also be creative and think outside the box," says Audrey Sun, chief operating officer of Harvey Nichols Hong Kong.

Harvey Nichols appreciates good teamwork and Mandarin and English proficiency. "Attention to detail and the ability to observe trends in consumer behaviour to anticipate customers' needs are highly valued," says Sun.

The company offers induction sessions in luxury retail conducted by an in-house trainer. It also hosts product training sessions every season.
