Requisition ID: 400074953

At Argos, we’re a digital-led UK retailer that keeps pushing boundaries to meet every generation with what they want, how and when they want it. As a market leader in general merchandise, serving millions of customers through our website, app, same-day delivery and Click & Collect services, we offer real opportunities to learn, grow and shape your career. With roles spanning Commercial, Buying, Merchandising, Design and Supply Chain, through to Digital, Operations, Customer Experience, Marketing, and People and Transformation , you will work with brilliant colleagues and directly shape how we serve our customers every day. From enabling inspiring choice across our owned brands, including Habitat, Chad Valley and Bush, alongside the world’s biggest brands like Apple, Lego, Xbox and Samsung, to making shopping effortlessly convenient, championing trusted value and accelerating our strategy - Argos is an exciting place to build your future.

Sitting at the heart of the Argos business, Trade Planning connects the moving parts that help turn strategy into action.

As a Trade Planning Assistant, you'll work across Commercial, Digital, Marketing, Retail and Supply Chain, helping to coordinate priorities, identify opportunities and ensure we execute brilliantly for customers. From supporting weekly trade priorities and analysing competitor activity to coordinating business-wide planning, you'll help ensure we're focused on the right opportunities and responding quickly to an ever-changing retail landscape.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys working at pace, loves solving problems and wants broad exposure across the Argos business.

What you'll do

Support the delivery of the weekly trade plan, helping to coordinate priorities, manage critical paths and ensure the business is aligned behind what matters most.

Lead our Competitor Analysis Hub activity, capturing market insight, identifying opportunities and highlighting emerging trends that can influence both short and long-term plans.

Support the operational delivery of the Business Priority List (BPL), ensuring updates, submissions and actions are communicated clearly and delivered on time.

Work closely with Marketing and a wide range of cross-functional teams to ensure plans are executed seamlessly and our priorities are translated into action.

Review performance, identify risks and opportunities, and help recommend actions that improve execution, customer outcomes and commercial performance.

Look for ways to improve processes, simplify ways of working and support continuous improvement across Trade Planning activity.

Who you are

A naturally curious and organised individual who enjoys connecting the dots, solving problems and understanding what drives business performance.

You'll be comfortable juggling multiple priorities, working at pace and collaborating with a broad range of stakeholders to keep plans moving forward.

You enjoy working with data and insight, spotting trends and using information to help shape recommendations and decisions. Whether it's competitor activity, trading performance or business priorities, you're always looking for the bigger picture.

A strong communicator and relationship builder, you'll be confident working across different teams, influencing others and contributing to discussions that help drive the business forward.

Most importantly, you'll bring a proactive mindset, a willingness to learn and a genuine interest in how a fast-paced retail business operates.

Essential Criteria

Strong organisation and planning skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously
Experience working within a commercial, analytical, operational or retail environment
Good commercial awareness and analytical capability
Ability to identify risks, opportunities and potential solutions
Strong stakeholder management and communication skills
Comfortable working cross-functionally with a broad range of teams
A proactive and curious approach to problem solving
Ability to work at pace and adapt to changing priorities

Experience creating analysis, presentations or business updates for stakeholders
A continuous improvement mindset with a willingness to challenge and improve ways of working

And if you ever need it there is also an employee assistance programme.
