We’re looking for an enthusiastic Digital Merchandising Assistant to join our eCommerce team.

In this role, you’ll be joining our Partnerships team with a varied remit centred on improving the experience for customers who choose to shop with Co-op via our partner platforms such as Deliveroo and Uber Eats. You’ll work closely with our eCommerce merchandising and content teams as well as our tech teams to help to deliver our strategy in this area.
