- Advise on new lines, ranging, ticketing, catalogue compliance and identify wholesale sales opportunities (incl. Charge through, Weekly best deals)
- Use available shoppers’ and stores’ data (e.g., demographic trends) to advise on additional range opportunities

- An extra week of annual leave after your first year as part of our Fifth Week program
- Great corporate benefits including retail discounts, Employee Assistance Program (EAP), wellbeing days and much more.
- A proven diverse and inclusive workplace environment that rewards people purely on their values, engagement, and performance.
- The opportunity to be a key part of a dynamic, professional, and high performing team.

We’re all about celebrating success, and we’re proud to be a WGEA Employer of Choice for Women, an accredited Flex Ready workplace, and a Gold Standard Mental Health First Aid skilled workplace.
