Frasers Group does not hesitate to push forward and change the way the industry operates, diversifying our portfolio and elevating stores.

The Programme.

Join our two-year fast track Elevation Programme within our commercial team, where you will get exposure to activities and departments such as: making decisions on which products to sell and what they’ll be priced at, buying, identifying customer trends and assessing how products perform. You’ll work closely with warehouse operations, analysing and monitoring the flow of product, seeking efficiencies that will drive commercial benefits across all brands and fascia. Your experience will begin with a two-week immersive orientation programme to set you up for unlimited success. However, there’s no point in learning if you can’t put it into practise.  So, you’ll spend some time overseeing the commercial performance of our products throughout their lifecycle. You’ll develop skills in recognising customer trends, building brand partnerships, negotiating with suppliers, analysing commercial performance and more. There is no other programme like this with such broad, fast-tracked exposure within commercial head office retail.
