To support the Category Manager in the running of the category, and the development and execution of activity to achieve sales and margin targets.
We believe that a hybrid, flexible working approach offers you – and your colleagues – the best of both worlds.

Beyond that, how, when and where you work is up to you. With a subsidised canteen, free parking and a comfortable, relaxed environment, we’ve worked hard to build an office you’ll want to work in.

We’re on a mission to put sustainability at the forefront of everything we do. Join us.
We’ve worked hard to create a culture of inclusivity and genuine community. We’re a company built on teamwork, and the best teams are ones in which everyone can share their view.
