Salary: Competitive & Benefits
Location: Coventry Store Support Centre - Ansty Park and Home, Coventry, CV7 9RD
Contract type: Permanent
Business area: Supply Chain & Logistics
Closing date: 12 June 2026
We’d all like amazing work to do, and real work/life balance. That’s waiting for you right here. Supply Chain and Logistics is the engine room that gets thousands of products from farms and factories, through the business and to millions of customers every day. We plan around everything from barbecue weekends to Sunday roasts, supporting those who want oven-ready cauliflower cheese and those who prefer to make it from scratch. Insight and data are everything. But so is judgement — when there’s an issue or ambiguity anywhere, we’re often the first to spot it. There’s a big transformation underway. It calls for people who champion change, bring others with them, and collaborate and communicate. Because those people can go a very long way here.
This is a high-impact role at the heart of how we deliver great availability for our customers. You’ll own how stock flows across our network, using data, insight and commercial thinking to make decisions that directly influence sales, margin and customer experience.
You’ll work closely with Merchandising, Supply Chain and Commercial teams, giving you real exposure to how the business trades—and the opportunity to shape outcomes, not just execute plans.
What you’ll be accountable for
* Owning SKU/store level performance—balancing availability, stock, and margin across multiple channels
* Using data and trading insight to optimise forecasts, allocation and replenishment decisions
* Driving improvements in forecast accuracy that influence buying, promotions and markdown strategy
* Identifying risks and opportunities early and taking action to protect performance
* Delivering strong execution for launches, events and promotional activity
* Improving stock flow and reducing markdown through smarter, more commercial decision making
How you’ll make a difference
* Bring analytical rigour to day-to-day decisions—using data to challenge, prioritise and improve outcomes
* Translate complex trading signals into clear actions for the business
* Influence cross-functional teams to align on the right commercial decisions
* Continuously improve systems, parameters and processes to drive better performance
What we’re looking for
* Strong analytical mindset—you’re confident working with data to make decisions
* Commercial curiosity—you want to understand what drives performance and how to improve it
* Ability to operate at pace across multiple priorities without losing attention to detail
* Strong relationship skills—you can influence and collaborate across teams
* Confident communicator—you turn insight into clear, actionable recommendations
What you’ll get
* Real ownership and accountability from day one
* Exposure to cross-functional decision making at scale
* Opportunity to develop commercial and analytical capability
* A fast‑paced environment where you can make a visible impact
This is an ideal role for someone who wants to move beyond execution and start shaping commercial outcomes through insight, influence and ownership.
We are committed to being a truly inclusive retailer so you’ll be welcomed whoever you are and wherever you work. Around here, there’s always the chance to try something new — whether that’s as part of an evolving team or somewhere else across the business - and we take development seriously and promise to support you. We also recognise and celebrate colleagues when they go the extra mile and, where possible, offer flexible working. When you join our team, we’ll also offer you an amazing range of benefits.
