Graduate recruitment plays an integral part of our development and we fully understand the importance of progressing the careers of inspirational and talented individuals and realize just how powerful this can be in shaping the leaders of our future. Our unique culture and structure will encourage your creativity, nurture your commercial drive and hone your leadership potential.
About the role
You’ll be expected to make an impact and influence colleagues and clients alike, and while teamwork is essential, you’ll also be accountable so there’s huge scope to make a real impact right from the start.
You’ll gain unlimited learning and development opportunities, supporting a variety of key activities across the delivery lifecycle of one of our many projects such as with Aldi, Starbucks, Arcadia or Greggs. Typically, we'd put our Graduates in a variety of different roles as soon as they join, however across the Consulting Industry we're noticing an increased benefit in developing foundational product and software delivery knowledge, before graduate’s springboard into broader analyst roles such as Business/Technical Analyst and/or Functional consultants. Due to this, we're introducing a structured 9 – 12-month placement for graduates in our award-winning Test Practice.
You’ll start our Programme developing as a Software Test Consultant, which will provide you with invaluable hands-on experience with the Software Development Lifecycle, the world of Agile, Products and tech consultancy within a highly innovative (we have several retail tech projects working with Automation and Robots), supportive and engaged Test Community. You will be assigned to a rewarding project when you first join the team and, where viable, will be provided with opportunities to rotate within the Test Practice. After the initial 9-12 months on the test team, you will be given the option to explore something new, outside of the test practice, if that’s what you decide you’d like to do.
For 18 months, you’ll be part of our supportive graduate community which offers a combination of training and development opportunities as well as graduate days and socials. Throughout the Graduate Consultant Programme, we’ll review your progress, with regular salary increments to reflect your development and depth of experience. On successful completion, you’ll become a Senior Consultant with all the additional responsibility and further opportunity to learn/grow that comes hand in hand with promotion.
REPL is an equal opportunity employer and we know the value of a diverse and inclusive workforce. We have very active communities for Women in Tech, Automation and Innovation and we are also actively involved in the local community. As such, we particularly encourage applicants from a diverse range of backgrounds.

- Academic achievement – preferably you’ll have a STEM-related degree, however, if you have a strong academic record, are passionate about pursuing a career in retail technology, and are willing to learn then we want to hear from you.
- Interests outside of University – what makes you stand out from the crowd and why are you remarkable?
- Work experience – you’ll ideally have gained some level of work experience with retail sector exposure advantageous.
- Flexibility and ability to travel – We have 4 UK offices including London and our Head Office in Warwickshire however travel is fundamental to the role (Post COVID); you’ll view this as an invaluable opportunity to develop your experience, increase your commerciality and exposure to different working environments.
Please note, you'll be required to travel to our Warwick office when required.
