- exceptional stakeholder management with the ability to work closely and influence internal and external stakeholders to achieve objectives
- strong analytical skills demonstrated through proactively sourcing customer insights and data to formulate category recommendations
- experience working within cross functional teams to manage and execute projects

With us it’s not about the discounts (although you do get those), it’s about joining a team where your wellbeing and professional development is invested in and celebrating your contributions is the norm.
