Application Closing Date - Friday 10th July
We’re the team behind digital retailer Very
Our purpose, helping families get more out of life, powers everything we do.
And we want our people to get more out of life too! If you’re high-performing, ambitious and make the most of every opportunity, we want to hear from you. In return, you’ll enjoy heaps of flexibility, great perks and benefits, and the freedom to be yourself, keep learning and take your career wherever you want it to go.
If you love making a difference, you’ll love making it sparkle for millions of Very customers. ✨
As a Graduate Strategy Analyst, you’ll join a team that helps shape some of the biggest choices facing the business. You’ll support projects that explore growth opportunities, evaluate market and customer trends, and help leaders make better strategic decisions.
This is an exciting opportunity for someone at the start of their career who is curious about how a business grows, enjoys solving problems and wants to develop strong commercial and analytical skills.
You’ll work with colleagues from across the business, build your understanding of retail and financial services, as well as technology, data, customer service, marketing, and logistics, and learn how to turn insight into action, including exploring opportunities in new markets and understanding how emerging technologies can create value.
You’ll form part of a core, experienced strategy team which drives impact across the business. That means plenty of variety, exposure to senior leaders and the opportunity to learn quickly from experienced colleagues while working on topics that matter.
You’ll be given supported development opportunities rotating through different business areas to learn new skills and, as your experience grows, to put these into action and own your own projects.
What you'll be doing:
You’re likely to be a recent graduate, or about to graduate, with an interest in strategy, business and how decisions create value. We’re less interested in what you studied, and more interested in how you think and approach problems. Here are the key skills you will be assessed on:
