- the ability to produce high-quality reports and materials; used to advise decision making
- a basic understanding of project management
- excellent problem-solving skills and a willingness to learn

Here you’ll do work that matters. We can offer you a competitive salary and great benefits package which includes 30% off Co-op branded products in our food stores (as well as other discounts on Co-op products and services), the Wagestream app - giving you access to a percentage of your pay as you earn it, and the YuLife app - rewarding you for exercising with discounts and vouchers for your favourite brands. You’ll also get:

- an annual bonus (based on personal and business performance)
- 28 days holiday (rising to 32 with service) plus bank holidays
- a pension with up to 10% employer contributions
- access to a subsidised onsite gym (at our Manchester HQ)
- coaching and training to support your career development

At Co-op, we’re proud to do things a different way. As one of the world’s largest co-operatives, owned by millions of members, community is at the heart of what we do. Since our Co-op was founded in 1844, we’ve had a clear social purpose, and everything we do as a business helps to build a fairer world for our members, customers, colleagues, and communities.

We'll ask whether you’d like to be considered under the Disability Confident scheme when you apply.
