Job Description

College Placement - Trainee Merchandiser
Dublin Head Office

We are now accepting applicants from students who are looking for a yearlong college placement as part of their degree, to start in summer/autumn 2019.

Do you have a love for fashion and a curious mind, capable of analysing data to find common trends? If you’re studying towards a degree in an Accounting, Economics, Mathematics or Business related course, Primark has the perfect opportunity for that first step in your career.

This is an ideal introduction to a role in fashion retail and Merchandising, with exciting responsibilities keeping our Merchandising Team operating brilliantly. You’ll also have an amazing opportunity to learn about the industry and progress in a Merchandiser role once you’ve completed your studies.

You will need to have:

·  An eye for detail . Responsible for sales and stock monitoring, you’ll need to have your eye on many things at once. Whether it’s supporting the Merchandising team in delivering sales, stock turn, or hitting contribution budgets. You’ll also help to set up and manage line projections. All this means your time management skills are super important.
·  A way with numbers. This part of the role is analytical so if you’re handy with calculations, you’ll excel. You’ll be responsible for investigating and solving data inaccuracies and producing analysis reports including strategy, sign off and store range presentations.
·  An organisation obsession . It’s important for you to stay on top of and be aware of the development of range and option plans and any store or style grading amendments. So, knowing what’s going on throughout the Primark network will make this part of the job much easier.  
In a competitive industry, we’re the growing business you can’t hold back. Right now, we’re expanding across the UK, Europe, and the US. So, if you’re computer savvy, scarily organised, and have a passion for all things fashion then we need you on board as we continue to grow!

Why work with us?
As well as giving you a competitive salary, we’ll provide you with a progressive career path. Clear advancement is what we’re all about at Primark. We’re always open to talking about your development and we offer lots of fantastic training courses to really help you shine. You’ll also have more responsibility than at your average retailer, so you’ll be able to learn quickly.

We’re proud of our friendly culture at Primark. You’ll have the opportunity to get to know some great people in a fast-paced, exciting environment. With our flexible working hours, you can use your time effectively and plan around your schedule. Plus, we’re well equipped for a healthy lifestyle with our own café, canteen, and gym, as well as a brand-new fitness studio with a variety of classes available.

Remember this position is only open to students that are required to complete a yearlong placement as part of their studies!
