Specialty Retailer - people & partnership focussed
- Career Opportunity of a Lifetime
- Be welcomed & supported. Generous $$ & benefits

**What’s in this for you?**
- **A culture that you will love**:Its collaborative, respectful, open, fun and 'down to earth'
- **An awesome category to lead**: Health & Beauty - it's one of the highest-profile portfolios in the business & its booming and you don't need to have experience buying the category previously
- **Rewards**: The package is attractive and there are so many benefits - financial and non
- **The work environment is new school**: Its fresh, open and collaborative and set up to leverage the sharing and expertise that everyone brings on their days in the office.
- **Flexibility**: The days are gone of working 5 days in the office, so a mix of being in the offices and WFH is expected and supported in any given week

**Your prospective employer**:
**This may just be one of your most career-defining moves.**

**In your role you will**:

- Be accountable for one of the highest-profile portfolios - Health & Beauty and be pushing the boundaries of excellence by further introducing, developing, and executing first-class category plans, pricing, and product assortments

- **Your category experience**: Health & Beauty category experience is not essential. Those with category experience in ‘Consumer/Hard/Fast Moving' goods will be highly regarded. (It’s the merchant we are looking for vs the category expert)
- **It’s a given** you have skill sets in inventory management, negotiating and building supplier relationships and you are always in it for a ‘win-win.’ It's your ‘eye for commercial ranging’ and developing solution-based category plans that sets you apart
- **You are innately passionate**: You are a natural go-getter, who has the 'will' and 'want' to make a difference
- **You are authentic and down to earth**:this oozes from your every pore
- **You inspire**: You have drive, determination, and commitment that inspires others and you are always ‘in it for the team’
