You have a great eye for trend, 5-10 years commercial experience in the fashion industry, and strive for the highest standards in research and analysis.

This position is designed to give you the opportunity to contribute dynamically to a rapidly evolving agency. The selected Fashion Intelligence Specialist will work closely with our team in the genesis of social media reporting on trends, market evaluations, and client communications. Reporting will be an extensive part of this role, and a key deliverable to client.

- Forecasting cutting-edge fashion trends
- Cyclical creation of tailored trend reports for a global, large-scale fashion retailer
- Comprehensive research, fashion influencer identification, and mapping
- Solid ability to create reports and analysis from research data and result sets
- Contributing proactively to the holistic social media marketing efforts of Whispr Group
Your core competencies and requirements:
- A four-year university degree in fashion, art, communications, or a related field
- 5+ years of extensive experience in fashion (as an editor, buyer, etc.)
- Experience forecasting fashion trends (e.g. WGSN or EDITD)
- A powerful eye for image selections
- Impeccable communication and interpersonal skills
- Demonstrated ability to successfully manage tasks in constrained time limits
- Proven client relations experience from relevant work
Additionally, foreign language proficiency and heavy addiction to the following are a big plus: blogs in general, YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Instagram, Pinterest, StumbleUpon, Delicious, Digg, Flickr, etc.
The ideal candidate will be organized, ambitious, and have an undying passion for fashion. This person will also be adept at drawing intelligible, comprehensive conclusions about vast stores of information found in the fashion industry as a whole. Great talent grows fast at Whispr Group. Oh, and you’ll be working with a badass group of people.
