Next Head Office, Leicester
£18,685

You may have some industry experience or you may come to us as a graduate. But your background is not nearly as important as a genuine interest in retail, strong commercial awareness and the ambition to make your mark in a blue-chip business.

And businesses don’t come much more attractive than Next. We’re one of the country’s leading fashion retailers, with around 500 stores in the UK and Eire, whose customers include absolutely everyone who’s looking for exciting, beautifully designed clothing and homeware. We also print over 2.5 million copies of the Next Directory, which has over 2 million active customers.

So, the highly regarded Next training programme could be your first step in a rewarding long-term career. You’ll develop your skills with both structured and on-the-job training, working alongside some of the very best people in the business.

The Merchandiser’s role is all about delivering the right product in the right quantity at the right price at the right time. Our Merchandisers analyse sales information and product trends, evaluate information supplied by Buyers and Designers, negotiate delivery dates with global suppliers and ensure that we have the right stock in place to maximise profits.

To succeed, you’ll need to be a confident communicator with strong analytical skills and a real head for figures. If you’re doing really well, you’ll be offered promotion within 18 months of joining. In fact, many of our highest achievers began as trainees.
