  • Excel skills (you'll complete a brief test) and analytical mindset

What's on Offer?

  • Newly created team with real influence and visibility.

  • Be part of a growth journey in a high-potential retail environment.

  • Work in a fast-paced, solutions-focused culture that values autonomy and initiative.

  • Make your mark in a high-profile role with the freedom to shape the future of our retail strategy.
