Is H&M right for me?

People who are happy and do well at H&M tend to thrive on using their intuition and common sense. It is the place of possibility, and it is also the place of ambiguity and constant change. It is not a company for micro-managers or people who operate on auto-pilot. It is a company where your opinions will influence business decisions. So, you need to enjoy making them heard, questioning how things work, and trying things that you might not be familiar with.

Consequently, we depend on teamwork. We have a pretty high tolerance for failure, provided you can show you’re learning. You can expect to take on new responsibilities and move around a bit. If that’s what you’re looking for, this could be the start of a varied and rewarding career. Beyond that, it’s really up to you. 70% of our people manager roles are hired from within, so there’s not much limit to how far you can go. All we ask is that you be yourself, take ownership of your work and your career goals, and go for it with everything you’ve got.

Thinking about applying?

If all of this sounds like it might be your kind of thing then you should definitely get in touch. We’re more about personality and competence than qualifications, so don’t worry if your skills aren’t a perfect match.
