We’re looking for a wholesale category assistant to join our trading team here at Nisa. Since Nisa was acquired by Co-op, we’ve focused on combining the best of both organisations to offer something new to independent retailers and commercial wholesalers across the UK. More scale and better product ranges give Nisa partners a real competitive advantage. If you can bring us a combination of amazing people skills and a future-focused approach, you’ll have a chance to gain fantastic experience and have a positive impact on the way we do business.

As a wholesale category assistant, we’ll look to you to effectively manage and execute the daily administration of product data, supporting our wholesale category controller and trading team. You'll also liaise with partners and suppliers to keep them up to date and solve any queries they may have.

**What you’ll do**:

- input accurate product, cost, and supplier information into our systems
- support new line set up
- upload relevant documentation to the system and keep accurate records
- update systems with promotional and deal information
- process all admin in a timely manner to ensure we are GSCOP compliant
- manage own workload to make sure deadlines are adhered to
- respond to queries from partners and suppliers, making sure any issues are resolved quickly
- work collaboratively with Co-op partners and teams to make sure product mapping is complete and accurate where applicable

**This role would suit people who have**:

- admin experience in a fast-paced environment
- a keen eye for detail and accuracy
- good IT and MS Office skills, particularly Excel; you’re able to work with pivot tables, VLOOKUP’s, and other formulas
- excellent organisational skills
- excellent communication and relationship building skills, with the ability to engage with a wide range of partners and suppliers
- a collaborative approach to work; you’re a great teammate and able to support the team when needed

**Why Co-op?**
Here you’ll do work that matters. We’re a commercial organisation with a purpose beyond profit, you’ll have an opportunity to help us build a stronger Co-op and stronger communities. You’ll also get a package that includes:

- competitive salary
- coaching, training and support to help you develop
- pension with up to 10% employer contributions
- annual incentive scheme
- 28 days holiday (rising to 32 in line with service)
- discounts on Co-op products and services
