Trend Director, Amazon Fashion
PATTERN WORKED: 4 DAYS PER WEEK
As Trend Director, Maria identifies relevant fashion and style trends and interprets them for both Amazon’s internal partners and the Amazon Fashion customer, across multiple European marketplaces and categories. Maria was hired into the role in 2015 on a part time basis, despite it being advertised as a full time position, enabling her to balance her home life as mum to a three year old, without compromising her career. Since then, Maria has implemented a new trend strategy to improve the quality of fashion buying and launched the first Amazon Fashion in-house ‘Trend Summit’, a twice-yearly event attended by almost 200 vendor managers, site merchandisers and senior management from across Europe.
