This is a great stepping stone into retail operations, merchandising or commercial planning. We’ll support your development and give you exposure to the wider business, so you can grow your skills and shape your career.

Qualifications

• Experience in similar administrative role with managing workload/deadlines & adhering to Critical Date Paths
• A keen eye for detail and a love of solving problems
• Comfortable working to deadlines and juggling multiple timelines
• Great communication skills — you’ll be working with lots of different teams

Benefits

• Competitive salary
• 26 days holiday plus bank holidays, plus an annual care day and volunteer days
• Health cashback scheme
