Future Trends & Innovations Trainee - Student Placement Year

at  Penneys

ABOUT YOU

If you’re an undergraduate looking for a 12 month placement before you head back to university for your final year, we’d love to hear from you. If you’re in your last year at university or have already graduated, head back to the careers website to find other roles across the business.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

This is where creativity, ideas and business collide. Here, you’ll help deliver new and evolving consumer trends, creating a vision of tomorrow to inform decisions for today. This includes collaborating with the Head of Innovation and the Future Trends Manager to understand upcoming and evolving consumer trends and how this will impact consumer behaviour, shopping habits and Primark as a business. You’ll support with research, carrying out forecasting and predicting global macro trends. We’ll also look to you to challenge perceptions of how things are by developing concepts and actions, and translating ideas into simple, actionable insights through presentation decks. You’ll also work with external partners and consumer focus groups to support findings and enhance concepts. With weekly team brainstorm sessions to spark up new ideas and concepts, this role is packed full of bold thinking. You’ll help drive business and brand growth into the future.

And if you need to relocate to Dublin for the role:

• We’ll support you with: flights at the start and end of your placement, an additional gross relocation allowance of EUR 1000 in your first month pay to help get you settled in, a bundle of homeware so you don’t have to pack your duvet and pillows and a travel allowance to support with your travel over the holiday season. We’ll also support you opening a bank account and registering for tax and social security in Ireland.
• Not sure where to live? Primark currently partner with Highfield House, student accommodation. You will have the option to stay at Highfield House and if you do, Primark will generously contribute towards 25% of your total annual rent and cover your deposit
