About the Role

Key Responsibilities

  • Stock Replenishment & Display
    Move stock from the warehouse to the shop floor, organise shelves, and ensure products are fully replenished and presented to a high standard.
  • Planogram Compliance
    Accurately implement planograms and visual briefs to ensure all displays meet required layouts and standards.

  • A strong communicator with high integrity and reliability
  • Highly organised with excellent attention to detail
  • Able to work independently and make decisions under pressure
  • Committed to delivering excellent customer service
