We are one of the most famous clubs in world football, with a rich heritage and history of success. Beyond that, we are passionate about our local community and have a wide variety of opportunities and career paths for all. We have a very defined purpose: to act for a winning team, culture and community. We achieve this by ensuring we are courageous in the pursuit of progress, we champion our community and each other, and that we do the right thing (even when no one is looking).

Our Commitment to Safeguarding: We are committed to ensuring that our environments for children, young people and adults at risk remain safe and inclusive.

  • Maximise stock availability - you will coordinate store replenishment and cross-channel stock movements to help drive sales across retail and e-commerce.
  • Keep our teams informed - you’ll update and communicate changes to delivery schedules, ensuring colleagues are always aligned.
  • Drive reporting insights - you will maintain and analyse reports, providing clear and actionable updates to the wider Retail team.
  • Enhance our commercial performance - you’ll proactively identify stock gaps and opportunities to optimise trading and replenishment decisions.
  • Support promotional activity - you will action price changes during promotional and mark-down periods with accuracy and attention to detail.
  • Collaborate across teams - you’ll work closely with our Buying & Merchandising team, Licensing team and third-party suppliers, providing hands-on support in a fast-paced environment.

What we are looking for:

  • A passion for product and retail - you’re excited by consumer trends and take pride in delivering great product experiences.
  • Experience in a fast-paced environment - you thrive when working at pace, managing multiple priorities with agility and resilience.
  • Advanced analytical skills - you’re confident using Excel to interpret data, track performance and identify commercial opportunities.
  • Excellent attention to detail - you have an outstanding attention to detail, ensuring accuracy across reporting and operations.
  • A proactive and solutions-focused mindset - you’re quick to identify challenges and take initiative to resolve them effectively.
  • Great communication skills - you build trusted relationships with colleagues and confidently share updates and insights.
  • Adaptability and flexibility - you respond positively to change and are comfortable working in a dynamic, evolving environment.
  • A collaborative team approach - you’re a supportive and respectful team player who enjoys contributing to shared success.
