• Strong organisational and multi-tasking skills
• Proven ability to build relationships and influence stakeholders
• A keen eye for detail and a process-driven mindset
• A passion for visual merchandising and retail presentation
• The ability to stay calm under pressure and adapt to changing priorities

Why you’ll love working with us:

We genuinely care about our people, and we’re committed to helping you thrive, at work and outside of it. You’ll enjoy:

• Mitre 10 team member discounts
• Flexible working options
