You’ll help to deliver exceptional, customer-led ranges which drive sales and margin across a specific category. You will build on the capability of our wholesale team by engaging with different teams across the business to translate customer buying insights into competitive customer propositions, ensuring quality and value.
Working within embedded business teams, our team of friendly faces works as one to provide shopping trips and a career experience you won’t find anywhere else!

You will be responsible for:

• Maximising sales and profit inline with the budget plan
• Regular competitor analysis including range, and price benchmarking
• Market data analysis
• Developing strong, collaborative relationships with suppliers
• Deliver a customer relevant for both UK and export customers, commercially sound range
• Managing the critical path, engaging all key stakeholders to ensure smooth running of the development process and on time delivery of ranges to store
