  • You will be able to recognise sales trends in detail from reports and use this information to improve sales performance and the profitability of the department through replenishment and merchandising.
  • You will be meticulous to the detail in terms of product placement, standards, presentation, visual elevation and overall look and feel.
  • You will have good numeracy, literacy and computer skills.
  • You will be organised, methodical and pay excellent attention to detail.
  • You will have a proven track record in managing and developing a team.
