Our graduates are at their proudest – and it’s not hard to see why. After all, they’re part of a positive, supportive team who work together beautifully. And they’re given the tools, flexibility, and freedom to do their very best work. Join them as a Strategy and Insights Graduate and start building a career you’re proud of.
Our Strategy & Insights team use data and market research to develop consumer, retailer, and market insights. This is used to help inform our business strategy, product development and drive our position as a leader in the industry. Your role will involve analysing data, supporting research projects, and monitoring both current and future market and consumer trends.

You’ll monitor key changes in consumer behaviour and identify market trends which present opportunities and challenges for our business. You’ll build your analytical skills and your ability to distil the “so what” for the business and communicate this in an effective way to influence key stakeholders.
The role is based in our Manchester Campus. You will also work closely with colleagues in our London location so travel to London will be required on average once or twice a month.
Our graduate programme starts on October 9th, 2023.
What We're Looking For
- You'll be a recent graduate in any degree discipline and be excited by our values-driven culture
- You'll have strong analytical skills and have an interest in distilling data to create key insights and driving their use across the business
- You’ll be curious and enjoy solving complex problems
- You will have the ability to piece together different sets of data and information, and interpret the findings
