Our Food Buying team sources great quality products to give our customers the best range, at the best prices. So on this programme, you’ll help manage relationships with suppliers and set up exciting new product ranges. You’ll start by spending 12 weeks working in stores, getting to know how they operate. Then you’ll complete rotations on both our fresh and packaged food buying teams, giving you a breadth of experience and the chance to build all sorts of skills such a negotiation and supplier management.
During your 2-year programme you’ll first start off by spending 12 weeks in store getting to understand how our stores operate and how we serve our customers and communities. After this you’ll be able to use the knowledge and experience you’ve gained to get stuck in, following a clear development pathway to build your capability and provide experiences across the functions.
By the end of your programme you will have gained all the necessary skills and knowledge you need to set you up for success, but your journey doesn’t stop there, as this programme gives a great foundation to accelerate your career to become a senior leader in our business.
