Who we are

Hermès GB Limited is one of the many subsidiaries branching out from our Hermès International Headquarters in Paris. We operate with over 300 employees, from our Headquarters in London and across nine stores within our retail function in cities such as London, Dublin and Manchester. 

Hermès really is a truly wonderful place to work. Close relationships, humility and a thirst for team success make the company’s management style unique. Behind the drive for excellence is a spirit of goodwill in which personal achievement is for the benefit of the group’s progress, and where everyone shows commitment and passion, depth and lightness in all that they do. 

Learning and sharing, cultivating one’s curiosity and capacity to be amazed, innovating and never ceasing to push the boundaries of excellence are all crucial aspects of each individual’s development, and make up the company’s principle of continuous learning and passing down of knowledge. 

Our DNA is built up of People, Passion, Personality and of course, our wonderful Product. 

This is an exciting opportunity for any professional who is keen to be part of a close team within a dynamic and flourishing organisation.
