Job Description
The programme
The Commercial Elevation Programme is a fast-track development opportunity designed to build the next generation of leaders across our Product, Supply Chain and Commercial functions.
Over two years, you'll gain first-hand exposure to how a global retail supply chain operates, from factory floor to customer. You'll work alongside sourcing partners, manufacturing facilities and commercial teams, developing the skills and experience needed to influence product availability, performance and profitability across the UK's largest sports retailer.
You'll help support the flow of millions of products across one of the UK's most dynamic retail businesses, influencing decisions that impact brands, customers and commercial performance across the Group.
This is not a traditional graduate scheme. We recruit people with the ambition, curiosity and commercial potential to become future leaders, whether that potential has been developed through university, work experience or a combination of both.
What you'll experience
During the programme, you'll gain hands-on experience across the full commercial and supply chain lifecycle, including:
Product development and sourcing
Supplier management
Planning and forecasting
Pricing and margin optimisation
Production planning and critical path management
Logistics and supply operations
Commercial trading and performance analysis
You'll work directly with sourcing and manufacturing partners who play a critical role in bringing our brands to life, giving you exposure to supplier relationships, commercial decision-making and real-world problem solving from day one.
As your experience grows, you'll take on greater responsibility, broaden your exposure across brands and product categories, and begin specialising within key areas of our commercial operation.
Development and career progression
Alongside hands-on experience, you'll complete a structured development programme covering:
Leadership
Communication and influence
Stakeholder management
Emotional intelligence
Personal effectiveness
You'll learn directly from senior leaders across Frasers Group while building a network that supports your long-term career development.
Previous programme participants have progressed into careers across Planning, Supply Chain, Sourcing, Product Operations and Commercial Trading.
Qualifications
Who we're looking for
We're looking for ambitious people who want to build a long-term commercial career within one of the world's leading retail and consumer businesses.

Comfortable working with data and making evidence-based decisions
Confident communicators
Resilient and adaptable in a fast-paced environment

Experience gained through retail, hospitality, customer service, operations, leisure or other customer-facing environments can be beneficial but is not essential.

Successful participants enjoy working with numbers, identifying trends and using data to influence business decisions. You'll likely thrive in this programme if you:
Enjoy working with quantitative information
Can identify patterns and opportunities within data
Translate information into recommendations and actions
Make decisions based on evidence rather than assumptions
Are comfortable learning new systems and tools
