We know the DNA of exceptional retailers

The retail sector continues to be buffered by serious headwinds. Increased competition from dedicated online retailers and an on-going cautious consumer base means that retailers need to keep working on every front to find an edge. It is about optimising every dimension of the retail equation.

Six Degrees has a dedicated team that thrives on servicing some of the worlds and Australia’s leading retail organisations. 

Our retail focus includes Supermarkets, Fuel, Convenience & Duty-Free, Fashion & Apparel, Jewellery & Accessories, Homewares & DIY, Sporting & Outdoor, Health, Beauty & Pharmacy, Department Stores, Speciality, Luxury and QSR. 

Our recruitment specialists are focused on recruiting permanent and contract roles in Digital, Marketing, Sales, Procurement, Supply Chain, Engineering & Operations, and our dedicated Executive Search practice places Board, Director, C-suite, and General Management roles.
