Requirements

  • You don’t need a specific degree to apply but you will need a commercial mindset. We’re a leader in one of the fastest-moving industries in the world so an interest in business and a genuine customer-centric approach are essential.
  • Candidates must have the right to work in the UK for the full duration of their preferred programme.
  • What we look for:
  • Leadership is ultimately about people. To succeed here, you’ll need to have the traits any great leader has. That means being fast on your feet at solving problems, analytical and calm under pressure and most importantly, a natural team player and communicator who genuinely enjoys getting stuck in. If you’re ready to bring these, we can help you become a leader who brings remarkable experiences to customers every day.

Responsibilities

  • During the course of the programme we will support you to become a leader. You’ll spend your first 12 months learning how to manage one of our stores. Great leaders learn by doing, which is why you’ll gradually take on more responsibility before taking a management role within six months. You'll oversee a multi-million pound budget and get to grips with essentials like winning for our customers with a quick payment experience, clean, safe, well presented stores, creating an inclusive, engaging culture where everyone can be themselves and give customers the M&S experience they expect.
  • By the end of your first year, you’ll be comfortable running a store, but your programme won’t end there. We will continue to support you through the next stage of your career. That could be taking on bigger stores, completing a rotation in another area of the business, or eventually working abroad at one of our international businesses which will give you the breadth to become the best retail leader possible.
