Our vision is to disrupt the multi-trillion dollar convenience retail market, currently dominated by major players, by offering a diverse range of products, fair pricing, and efficient stock management. As we grow, we'll naturally diversify, always aligning with the market and our customers' needs. We are powered by a highly experienced, driven and passionate team with backgrounds from renowned companies like Amazon and Tesco.

  • Stay on top of key market trends and supplier updates, attend key partner meetings and events and build effective relationships
  • Work with marketing to build effective In-App and Out of Home campaigns from time to time

  • Strong analytical skills including Microsoft Excel
  • Familiarity with working with luxury/ premium brands
  • Demonstrable success in exceeding targets using a consultative, solutions-focused approach
  • A passion for customer experience
  • An open mind with a willingness to learn new skills, and a mindset inclined to stray outside of core job role where business needs require, from time to time
  • Experience in e-commerce
