Design and Development Assistant

Royal Collection Trust’s Retail team operate shops at Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle and the Palace of Holyroodhouse, as well as a growing online presence. Our range is as varied as our international customer base. But whether it’s a pencil, piece of jewellery or limited edition teacup, everything is of the absolute highest quality.

You’ll join the team based at our Stoke-on-Trent office, which is where our China and Glassware products are made. In a new role, you’ll support the design, development and planning of the production of items.

By providing vital admin and logistical support to the team, you’ll gain insight into many stages of the product cycle. You’ll help place and oversee regular orders of stock, packaging and gift boxes, bringing all the components of a product together, ready to send out to our shops.

You’ll help ensure that delivery deadlines are met, and that our shops are always fully stocked. As a key point of contact, you’ll handle a variety of queries for the team, and support the Head of Central Retail and Buyer directly, stretching your knowledge further.
