If you're looking for a role where no two days are the same, this could be the one for you. Our International team is growing fast, and we're looking for someone who's organised, curious, and ready to get stuck in.

This role involves maintaining smooth operations - coordinating all aspects of hectic schedules, emails, and inquiries - as well as participating in initiatives that influence the direction of our global business. Youll have the chance to take ideas forward, support the team in making things happen, and learn loads along the way.

• Identify and implement process improvements to increase efficiency in food registration and export activities.
• Maintain and manage food product data and databases used for international operations.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with internal teams and external partners to support seamless export compliance and provide system training.

Who You Are

• Diligent in ensuring accurate handling of documentation and compliance.
• A strong problem solver with a solution-focused attitude.
• Capable of multitasking and handling changing priorities in a complex environment.
• Resilient and tenacious, with the strive to see tasks through independently or in a team.
• Able to perform under pressure while maintaining high standards of accuracy and efficiency.

What’s in it for you?

• Working at M&S means being part of something bigger - helping to deliver quality, value and service to millions of customers every day. We're inclusive, fast-moving and always evolving, with a strong sense of purpose and a focus on doing the right thing.
• 20% colleague discount on all M&S products and many third-party brands for you and someone in your household, available once you\'ve completed your probation
• Competitive holiday allowance with the option to buy more
• Discretionary bonus schemes linked to your performance and ours
• Strong pension and life assurance to help plan for the future
