Use sales, stock and store data to lead micro-space decisions, maximise return on space and provide recommendations on display performance.
Deliver range changes to agreed critical paths, maintaining accurate product information, images, dimensions and system data to support right-first-time execution.
Visit stores and competitors to review execution, gather feedback and see opportunities, while supporting new store openings and renewal activity.
Who you are
Your skills and experience will include:
Strong analytical skills, with the ability to interpret internal data and market trends and turn them into clear, practical recommendations.
Confident partner management and influencing skills, with the ability to collaborate across teams and handle contending priorities.
Excellent planning and project management skills, with experience delivering work to agreed timelines and critical paths.
Good working knowledge of Microsoft Excel and Power BI; knowledge of Space, Range and Display processes or planning tools is desirable, although full training will be provided.
A proactive, solution-focused approach, with the confidence to learn quickly and adapt in a fast-paced retail environment.
