*Supporting the Category Insights team with collating key customer data for analysis
*Helping to organise customer brand days - venue liaison, samples, marketing materials
*Carrying out monthly store visits
*Providing flexible, wider support to the direct-to-retail sales team as needed
What We’re Looking For
Essential:
*Strong attention to detail
*Proficient in Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint
*Excellent organisational and time management skills
