About The Role

We're looking for a data specialist to work in our Merchandising team within the Commercial department, to work on our most strategically important project to help embed a new Merchandising system. This system will have a far reaching impact across the business, not only directly affecting the Merchandising team, but also through its output provided through its planograms and range data, which is consumed by many other systems to manage the flow of stock across our network and into stores.

The purpose of the Merchandising function is to drive sales and reduce costs with a customer centric focus on availability - enabling the delivery of the right range, in the right space, for every product. To support the team, we also need to write scripts and create reports, and test these in the new system environment to ensure everything works as we intend.

Through rigorous testing and a detailed understanding of current business processes, you will help ensure that the system integration is seamless, and allows the continuation of current working practices, whilst enabling new, more complex opportunities to manage range change and drive sales.

This role will be on a fixed term contract for 12 months.

Some of your responsibilities will include: Writing SQL queries to extract required data from numerous data tables. Understand requirements and build reports for various business stakeholders.<...
