When you walk into a department store and see a display of gleaming products, you’re seeing the work of Visual Merchandising. As a Visual Merchandising intern, you’ll bring a roll-up-your-sleeves attitude and be ready to get stuck in.

You will…

When a new product launches, you’ll help find unique ways to present it to customers nationwide. You’ll assess competitor activity and look for ways to raise the bar. It’s a busy, fast-paced role, but seeing your ideas come to life can be incredibly rewarding.

Day to day, you may…

• Support the Visual Merchandising team in preparing and planning for new launches and promotions.
• Partner with retailers to help ensure visual merchandising is correctly implemented across the UK.
• Take ownership of projects and build your expertise in visual merchandising.
• Work with the Marketing team to design, manage and develop point-of-sale units.
• Help create launch guidelines and coordinate printing and distribution to stores.
• Update and develop planograms to guide stores on product presentation.
• Liaise with Marketing and Sales to confirm direction and stock levels.
• Visit stores to track competitor activity and launches, gathering photos and details of materials and structures for a monthly report to the Marketing team and General Manager.
• Attend trade shows and supplier fairs on behalf of the team.

You have…

• Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
• A good eye for detail and awareness of current visual merchandising trends.
• The ability to work independently, with strong organisational and time-management skills.
• Experience with PowerPoint, InDesign and Excel would be an advantage.
