K-Way Assistant Store Manager

Job Summary

For our newly established K-Way Store in Covent Garden, London, we're looking for a Assistant Manager to lead a high-performing team, to ensure the best level of customer experience, deliver the brand's vision, and achieve industry leading KPI results.

The K-Way brand was created in Paris in 1965. On a rainy day, clothes retailer Leon-Claude Duhamel observed as people rushed by in soaking wet clothes, with uncomfortable umbrellas in hand and he had an insight: creating a waterproof object that could be carried at all times, but which was neither an umbrella or a raincoat. Therefore a revolutionary jacket was born; lightweight, comfortable and completely waterproof, that could be folded in a small hip bag.
