Location: Shirebrook, North Nottinghamshire

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:

  • Making decisions on which products to sell and what they’ll be priced at
  • 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

In year 1 of the programme, you will be assigned to several factories who supply our products. You will have ownership of managing the products from start to finish including design & development, forecasting, amendments, pricing, logistics, quality control & category optimisation. A factory visits our Shirebrook HQ every week to analyse their product and its performance, so you will have the chance to build relationships and manage suppliers in person.

You’ll spend some time overseeing the commercial performance of our products throughout their lifecycle. You’ll develop skills in recognising customer trends, build partnerships with our sourcing network, negotiate with suppliers, analyse commercial performance and so much more. This is a unique opportunity to deliver tangible product performance for the UK’s biggest sports retailer.

In year 2 of the programme, you will have chance to use your knowledge of the business to specialise within a particular area. This could result in broader exposure across our other brands such as Flannels and Frasers.

Not only are we providing best in class training from industry leaders- we also have a dedicated Learning and Development team who will be with you every step of the way on this programme. Your experience will begin with a two-week immersive orientation programme to set you up for unlimited success. Our L&D Team will organise regular opportunities to connect with your cohort, there will be interactive workshops to build Core/Management skills and Expert Insight sessions will be delivered by Frasers Group Senior Leaders. Expect to gain valuable skills and knowledge across:

  • Effective communication
  • Insights & presentation skills
  • Management Essentials
  • Emotional intelligence and self-awareness
  • Coaching and mentoring
