• Build strong supplier relationships and become a trusted commercial partner.
• Lead renewal conversations and help secure future supplier investment.
• Manage new supplier onboarding from initial pitch through to contract negotiation.

• A good understanding of digital merchandising KPIs including traffic, conversion, search performance and online sales
• Confidence identifying opportunities to improve UX and customer experience
• Experience managing supplier, agency or external partner relationships

The role

• Salary: £47,000 + up to 10% bonus + great benefits
