Description

Assistant Store Manager

COMPANY PROFILE
Orlebar Brown (Chanel group) launched in March 2007 as a more tailored approach to men's beach and swim shorts.

Based on the traditional pattern of a tailored pair of trousers for men, and with their distinctive side fasteners, they are not just a swim short; they are the original and best shorts you can swim in.

Today, our collections are built into broader lifestyles imagined around Beach, Resort, Coast and Sports.

We have multiple product releases, including capsules, new categories and services, over the calendar year to maintain excitement and interest for our customers.

Since 2007, we have built the brand to achieve our stated purpose which is - to encourage, excite and inspire everyone to 'Holiday Better'.

This is our purpose and why we get out of bed every morning.

The brand has rapidly gained global recognition and is sold through online, more than 30 O.B. stores, and the best retailers and hoteliers in the world.

Our customer is truly international, so whether they are in St Barth's for Christmas with family, Miami for a wild Spring break, a conference in Dubai with a few days off, tacking a boat off the coast of St Tropez, volunteering to replant mangrove plantations in Puerto Rico, walking along a cliff top in Cornwall, or diving off one into a beautiful blue ocean then O.B.

should be there to help you do it better.

Our business is built on relationships with those customers, and we strive to maintain our relationship with them, wherever they might be, and provide world class service, when and where they want.

It is also built on finding new customers to the brand by welcoming them to join the ever-growing O.B. community.
