• Use Excel and PowerPoint to support commercial decision‑making

You’ll suit this role if you:

• Are a graduate or early‑career candidate (6 months – 1 year experience)
• Enjoy working with data and thinking commercially (margins matter)
• Are organised, proactive, and comfortable juggling priorities
• Communicate confidently with suppliers and internal teams
• Are curious, driven, and keen to build a career in product or commercial buying

Why apply?

• Genuine entry point into a buying / merchandising career
• Exposure to real clients, real data, real decisions
• Supportive, collaborative team with clear development
