Site Research - Analysis & Development

Applications for the Site Research - Analysis graduate programme are now closed.

Site Research gives us a deep insight into what our customers need. It’s about understanding and anticipating customer requirements, analysing our business and how stores meet those needs and researching sites to develop new stores. Join us and you will enjoy contact with a wide range of our business areas and you will be instrumental in developing strategies that help us to remain a market leader.

The programme includes a placement in one of our stores where you will get a real insight into how your decisions may affect our business. Once you join the team, you will be based at our office in Welwyn Garden City in Hertfordshire.

Analysis & Development

In the Analysis & Development team you could be analysing data and influencing company decisions at the highest levels. Analysing store performance and creating models and systems, you will help Site Research to decide where to build stores, or how to invest in our expansion.

In the Development team you will be responsible for building and maintaining the core systems and data used by the Site Research teams.

The systems enable the teams to better understand stores and their customers ensuring the right investment advice is given to the business. In short, you will use your skills to influence real world business situations. The challenge is to use your judgement and knowledge to inform the way our business progresses.

• Preferably an MSc, ideally in Maths, Operational Research or Statistics – although not essential
