The business of what’s inside
Your personal qualities
We need
people who are absolutely fascinated by our customers. Essentially,
you’ll become an expert on their buying behaviours – what they want
now, what they’ll want in the future, what we can give them that
our competitors can’t. It’s about listening, being razor sharp in
your understanding, with a passion for exceeding their
expectations.
More than anything, you’ll have a thirst for knowledge. You’ll
enjoy gaining an in-depth insight into your category - what’s new
and exclusive, on a national scale – and know instinctively how to
take it forwards. You’ll pride yourself on your ability to cut
through, interpret and utilise complex data. All these things will
help you to manage performance and deliver on your targets, time
and time again.
It’s useful to test yourself on our core requirements to see if
you’re the right fit for this programme. Answer the following
honestly and it will soon become clear!
Are you interested in innovation and identifying the
next big thing on the market?
Do you like working with quality products?
Would you go out of your way to deliver results in tough
markets?
Do you like building rapport and relationships with people?
Do you have a positive and creative approach?
Are you great at managing projects?
Do you have the confidence to negotiate and secure a great
deal?
Have you got the charisma to engage and influence
others?
Your qualifications
We need graduates with GCSEs in Maths and English (Grade C or
above). You’ll need a 2:1 or above, but that could be in any
discipline. You won’t need to have worked in retail before but you
will need to show strong leadership qualities, even if it’s through
your extra-curricular activities. Strong numerical proficiency will
be essential, and this will be tested as part of the application
and assessment process.
Candidates will need to have permanent residency status – we
can’t accept anyone on the programme who is on a time-limited Visa.
So, if you’re in the UK on a Tier 1 or Post Graduate Work Visa,
unfortunately you won't be eligible to apply for the programme.
