London, United Kingdom Capgemini Invent Full time

**An overview of the role**:
Capgemini Invent is a strategic partner for retailers around the world. We bring to life what’s next for our clients by combining strategy, technology, data science and creative design. We help our clients to become more customer focused, to embrace the power of new technologies, data science and the digital revolution, to explore new business models, to control costs and add value for customers and to achieve their environment and sustainability commitments. We have deep expertise across the end-to-end value chain and our teams are built with people who have ‘walked the shopfloor’ and truly understand the challenges of our clients from both sides.

Our retail business brings together skills and expertise from across the Capgemini Invent capability units and works closely with other service lines across the Group. We oversee a portfolio which covers some of the biggest names in UK retail, across the apparel, home and grocery sub-sectors. As part of a joint sector unit with our Consumer Products business we work together where sector boundaries continue to blur with the rise of D2C and the face of traditional retail evolves. We believe in a ‘sustainable by default’ mindset, working closely with Capgemini Invent’s centre of excellence for sustainability to challenge our thinking and that of our clients.

**The Work**:
**No matter the project or customer, your work will have a meaningful impact on society, businesses and lives. It’s really rewarding. And it’s also really varied, whether fostering our reputation within a new account, or growing and expanding our footprint within a strategic one.**:
We help our clients to become more customer focused, to embrace the power of new technologies, data science and the digital revolution, to explore new business models, to control costs and add value for customers and to achieve their environment and sustainability commitments. We have deep expertise across the end-to-end value chain and our teams are built with people who have ‘walked the shopfloor’ and truly understand the challenges of our clients from both sides.

As a Director in our retail sector team you will lead Capgemini’s engagement with one of more of our major accounts and help to bring together the best of Capgemini’s offers and bring to life what’s next for your client. In doing so you will work with a diverse set of colleagues from within Invent and other parts of Capgemini, drawing from our global networks and experience. Alongside this you will be pivotal to building our continued growth strategy and momentum within the market, working together with experts from different capability teams to drive our retail offers and propositions.

**Collaboration and Innovation**:
Innovation is at the heart of our retail business. Last year we opened Cornershop, an innovation store in east London, where we are trialling new concepts, partnering with start-ups and establishing co-innovation projects with new and existing clients. We believe seeing concepts in action, learning fast and scaling quick is a necessary capability for our clients to be disruptive in the market and keep pace with customer expectations. This spirit of rapid innovation transcends all our retail projects, be it the use of data science to prove complex supply chain hypotheses, building agility into core ERP landscapes or seeking new ways for retailers to engage with their customers.

**Why this role?**:
With continued growth across the Retail sector, we are seeing a significant increase in demand for our teams who are already working with major UK retail organisations. As such, we are recruiting leaders into our Consumer Products and Retail team to support clients across the UK and globally.

You will be responsible for building lasting relationships with existing and new clients, through demonstrating sector and sub-sector experience, bringing the best of Capgemini to that client base and developing and delivering engagements to address the clients’ needs. You will be a key part of the sector leadership team in envisioning and actioning our go-to-market strategy to support our ongoing growth ambitions and you will play a key role in expanding and developing our sector community.

As a Director in the business, you will help set the direction, driving forward the business, modelling our values and behaviours, and coaching and developing junior members of the team. Key expectations from this role include:

- Demonstrating deep sector and sub-sector experience and knowledge, ideally in one of our retail growth areas**:commercial/trading** (incl. category management or Buying & Merchandising) or **store/omnichannel operations**:

- Being active and effective in both selling and delivering solutions to address our clients’ business needs
- Supporting the financial growth of the sector
- Supporting the growth and expansion of our team
- Capitalising on relationships already developed with R
