• A collaborative style, comfortable working across buying, marketing, digital, web development and our supply base to get things done.
• Confidence taking ownership in a fast-paced environment, working to targets with real attention to accuracy. You'll know your way around an excel spreadsheet and have an aptitude for digital systems.
