Ready to launch your career in Buying?
If you’re detail-oriented, curious about how products make it to shelves, and love the idea of working in a fast-paced, ever-evolving environment—this could be the perfect opportunity for you.
Our Cakes team is on the lookout for a proactive and organised Trading Assistant to help us deliver success across the category. You’ll play a key role in supporting the Buyer with everything from sales analysis to supplier coordination, ensuring our cake range delights customers and drives performance.
 What you’ll be doing:

  • Resolving store and supplier queries with professionalism and speed
  • Managing internal and external invoices & funding, ensuring accuracy and timely reconciliation
  • Contributing to the day-to-day trading of the category and spotting opportunities to improve

What we’re looking for:
  • A keen eye for detail and a love of getting things right
  • Strong organisational skills and the ability to juggle multiple tasks
  • Confidence working with data and spreadsheets (Excel skills are a plus!)
  • A collaborative mindset and great communication skills
  • Enthusiasm to learn, grow, and make a real impact

Why join us?
You’ll be part of a passionate team that’s serious about cakes and even more serious about delivering value to our customers. Expect plenty of variety, a supportive environment, and the chance to build a solid foundation in Buying.

Everything you'll love
