You will sit at the centre of business‑critical projects that touch stores, products, pricing, and customer‑facing tech. You will work across multiple brands, collaborate with smart people, and see your work land in the real world. No two days will look the same, which is half the fun.

Onsite at the group’s Richmond office, you will be close to decision makers and plugged into a genuinely pacey environment.

• Creating clear documentation including business cases, risk plans, and status updates
• Partnering with cross‑functional teams and vendors to deliver on time and at pace
• Adapting quickly in an industry that never sits still

• Strong communication chops and natural stakeholder management skills
• Good grasp of risks, dependencies, and how changes impact different parts of the business

• “Roll up your sleeves” mindset, happy to pitch in on analysis, process, and documentation where needed
• A bit of healthy risk tolerance, comfortable owning outcomes in a fast‑moving environment

• Happy to work without a dedicated BA, you roll your sleeves up

What’s in it for you

• Be part of a culture built on collaboration, adaptability, and fresh ideas
• Work closely with supportive leaders who are happy to back someone with potential, not just a long PM title
• Grow with a business that is constantly evolving and expanding
• Access future career opportunities across a wide retail network
