Collaboration is central to the role, as you’ll partner with Store Directors, Department Managers and cross-functional teams to align priorities and deliver results. Strong analytical skills, commercial awareness and a customer-focused mindset will be essential as you communicate trading insights, manage stock risks and contribute to merchandising initiatives that drive productivity and enhance the in-store experience.
