• Managing branded and own-brand product ranges
• Collaborating with cross-functional teams across Supply, Merchandising and Marketing
• Monitoring market pricing and create effective promotional plans

About you

• Proven ability to develop own-brand ranges and negotiate supplier terms
• Strong commercial acumen with a passion for products
• Ability to work across both digital and in-store retail channels

Pets just see people. They aren’t biased and they don’t discriminate. We take our inspiration from pets, and we value and respect difference in all its forms. Our aim is to reflect the diversity of the communities we operate in, and every colleague can help us achieve this. We encourage our people to be themselves so even if your skills and experience don’t perfectly align, if you think you can make a unique contribution through your values and behaviours, we want to hear from you!
