You’ll get plenty of responsibility and every opportunity to showcase and develop your skills. A full induction to our business will set you up to make an instant impact.

This team works closely both with the Marketing and Sales team to drive knowledge and understanding of the UK retail market. Therefore, you will become the go-to expert in Retail data insight for the UK team – influencing real-life business decisions on a weekly basis. Most notably, you will be associated with one of the nation’s most loved brands – Tetley, with the opportunity to be part of this heritage brand.

What is involved in the role

Become an integral member of the UK Category Team, running and supporting activities such as:

  • Working with the Category Team to be the sole source of all continuous data insight for the UK team
  • Drive knowledge of UK grocery market through analysis of Tetley and competitor activity

Head/Manage your own projects such as:

In return, we offer a fun, friendly and sociable work environment, an unrivalled learning experience and, for industrial placements, a generous salary too.

Knowledge of the UK retail environment would be a bonus but not a pre-requisite. What’s vital is someone who is naturally inquisitive, with a real passion and flair for creating compelling insights from various data sources.

Must have excellent numeric and analytical skills and be fluent in oral and written English.
