ABOUT THE TEAM
Argos Commercial & Digital sits at the heart of how we deliver brilliant, customer-focused product ranges across our multi-channel business.

MORE ABOUT THE ROLE
As a Merchandiser, you’ll be responsible for delivering a customer-focused range that achieves sales, profit, margin, stock and availability targets. You’ll develop and reforecast budgets across key KPIs, manage intake and lifecycle activity, and use data-led insight to steer weekly trading decisions.

You’ll also build effective ways of working with the Accenture Managed Services team to ensure forecasts, processes and data integrity are delivered accurately and on time.
