Founder & Creative Director at Mystic Moods Ltd

Mystic Moods Ltd is a sustainable fashion brand built on the belief that clothing should carry purpose, not just style. We blend creativity with conscious design to deliver pieces that empower individuals while protecting the planet. We’re growing and ready to take the next step — but we need the right partner to help build and scale our vision.

The Role:

This is not a traditional job. The position calls for a retail-savvy partner with strong business acumen, financial expertise, and an entrepreneurial spirit. The right candidate will play a pivotal role in driving growth, strengthening operations, and shaping the future of Mystic Moods as a leading name in sustainable fashion.

This is a hands-on leadership role, not an advisory position. You’ll be rolling up your sleeves to implement change, not just guide from the sidelines.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead and optimize retail operations, from customer experience to merchandising.
• Oversee financial management including accountancy, balance sheets, cash flow, and cash forecasting.
• Set and monitor pricing strategies and profit margins.
• Manage buying processes and liaise with suppliers to ensure ethical and sustainable sourcing.
• Oversee stock control, inventory management, and fulfilment operations.
• Develop and implement growth strategies across retail, wholesale, and e-commerce channels.
• Build and manage supplier, stockist, and partner relationships.
• Drive brand visibility and positioning while staying true to the sustainability mission.
• Introduce innovative ideas to expand the brand and strengthen market presence.
• Partner at board level to help shape long-term strategy and scalability.

Skills & Expertise (What We’re Looking For):

• Proven experience in fashion retail operations, merchandising, or scaling.
• Strong business acumen: confident with P&L, balance sheets, cash flow, and financial forecasting.
• Expertise in pricing, margin management, and commercial planning.
• Experience in buying and supplier management, with knowledge of ethical and sustainable sourcing practices.
• Familiarity with sustainable fashion standards & certifications (e.g. GOTS, Fair Trade, B Corp).
• Skilled in stock management, inventory systems, and fulfilment logistics.
• Knowledge of circular economy, slow fashion, and regenerative practices.
• Experience with direct-to-consumer, omnichannel retail, and digital growth strategies.
• Ability to build and expand supplier, stockist, and marketplace partnerships.
• Strong leadership and operational management skills.
• Strategic vision to balance creative brand direction with commercial scalability.
• Experience in fundraising, partnerships, or investment within sustainable brands (bonus).

Top 5 Must-Haves:

• Proven fashion retail experience — operations, merchandising, or scaling.
• Strong financial expertise — P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, and forecasting.
• Sustainability knowledge — ethical sourcing, standards, and circular models.
• Growth mindset — scaling through e-commerce, wholesale, and partnerships.
• Strategic leadership — balancing creativity with commercial discipline.

Compensation:

This is an equity-based partnership. Instead of a salary, you’ll receive a percentage of Mystic Moods Ltd in exchange for your commitment, expertise, and contributions.

Why Join Mystic Moods:

This is your chance to co-create a brand that blends style, sustainability, and soul. You won’t just be building a business — you’ll be shaping the future of sustainable fashion with a partner who shares your vision.
