Wholesale Graduate Trainee

Agency Parnell is a boutique wholesale agency representing a curated group of luxury fashion brands.

We work with brands that prioritise craft, identity and support in growing long-term equity, managing distribution with discipline, building retailer relationships with care, and growing accounts with intention rather than volume.

This is flexible hour, fully remote position which must be based in the U.K. It is a structured entry point into wholesale, designed to teach the commercial side of luxury fashion from the ground up within a senior-led, boutique environment. This is a training role and no prior wholesale experience is expected, but previous internship roles would be ideal.

As Wholesale Graduate Trainee, you will learn the full sales cycle from order placement through to in-season sell-through, working alongside the team on live accounts across our brand roster. You will begin by supporting the day-to-day running of existing retailer relationships and take on more direct responsibility as your product knowledge and confidence build.

You will work closely with the founder and senior team, gaining direct exposure to how a high-quality wholesale business operates from strategy and distribution planning through to retail activation and brand communication. The intention is that you grow into an account-owning role over time.

What you will learn and do

• Support day-to-day communication with existing wholesale accounts
• Research potential retail partners and help build target lists for new distribution
• Assist with order processing, line sheets and season admin
• Track sell-through data and prepare reporting to support reorder conversations
• Learn each brand's story and help communicate it accurately at retail level
• Coordinate with the team on logistics, scheduling and brand activation
• Help prepare showroom and sales campaign materials

About You

• A genuine interest in luxury, craft and brand building
• Any exposure to fashion or luxury through a placement, internship, part-time role or study is welcome, though not essential
• Retail sales experience is a big plus
• Strong interpersonal skills and a natural ability to build relationships
• Organised, detail-oriented and takes ownership of your work
• A clear communicator, both written and verbal
• Comfortable working in a lean, hands-on environment where initiative matters
• Confident with spreadsheets, or willing to get there quickly

We are looking for the right attitude, curiosity and a desire to grow within a business that takes quality seriously.
