The Opportunity
This two–year, rotational, Commercial Management programme is full of possibilities. You’ll have the opportunity to explore key departments within our commercial function, ensuring we buy and sell the right stock at the right time while monitoring the performance of different products. You’ll learn from senior leadership, grow your skills, have the freedom you need to push your boundaries — and own it.
Commercial Management
This is where you’ll spend most of your time on the Elevation Programme. You’ll work with brands like Adidas, Under Armour and Karrimor, to make sure we have the products we need to meet in-store demand, while maintaining great relationships with our suppliers. Day-to-day your tasks will vary, so if you don’t like sitting still, this rotation is for you.
Commercial Planning & Pricing
This rotation is the final stage of our buying process. Planning is all about getting the right products, in the right place, at the right time — maximising our sales. This is internal-facing, so you’ll be working alongside the best in the business. They can teach you a lot, if you’re willing to learn
Commercial Operations
The driving force behind Frasers Group, making sure the right stock is at the right warehouse. You’ll work with brands from Nike to Gucci on a daily basis, correctly analysing the sales data to elevate the speed at which we can bring a product to market.
Analytics
From sourcing a product to evaluating its performance, you’ll provide support, insight and recommendations across all levels of the business. You’ll also assist development of our automated ordering system, which is responsible for over £1bn of sales. This isn’t for the faint of heart; but it could be you — if you’re willing to own it.
Group Brands
In this rotation, change is the only constant. You’ll learn that to succeed you need to fail fast — and you will fail… But that’s OK. You’ll be growing our brand and spotting opportunities for new products in the market. This is how we rethink retail and reach our potential.
