The Programme.

As part of the Frasers Group Elevation Programme you will focus on our iconic Sports Direct brand, owning key commercial relationships for own brands including Everlast, Slazenger, Karrimor, USA Pro and many more. Our 2-year programme will give you exposure to activities such as:

  • Identifying customer trends and assessing how products perform
  • Analysing and monitoring the flow of product
  • Seeking efficiencies that will drive commercial benefits across own brands and fascia

You will have ownership of managing the products from start to finish including design & development, forecasting, amendments, pricing, logistics, quality control & category optimisation.
