John Lewis Retail Management, Buying and Merchandising Graduate Schemes.
A unique modern retail enterprise. An aspirational brand. A household brand. An expanding organisation. John Lewis, part of the John Lewis Partnership, comprises 32 shops (28 department stores and 4 John Lewis At Home) with many more on the way. For ambitious graduates with a passion for retail, looking for a career in either Retail Management, Buying or in Merchandising, look no further.
Our Retail Management Graduate scheme is best suited to graduates who’ll relish the demands of running a multi-department operation. It’s an ambitious programme that will equip you to cope with the variety of challenges that come from offering a huge range of products. Succeeding here is about being nimble, adaptable, and continually staying ahead of the curve to make the next sale.
If you want to choose the wide range of products that we sell in our stores (everything from fashion to electricals and from gardening equipment to sporting goods) and make the most of your uncanny ability to know what people want both now and in the future, then the Buying Graduate scheme is the perfect place for you to launch a lasting career.
Making sure that we buy stock in the correct numbers, maximising the potential profit available and hitting ambitious targets, calls for graduates with strong analytical abilities, planning skills and a head for figures. Our Merchandising Graduate scheme is ideally suited for those who have these skills, and want to work closely with our Buyers to inform them what to buy and stock next season, anticipating trends for next season and beyond.
Full details of our schemes and the qualifications you need can be found on our graduate website, where you can also apply online.
