## Description

Do you love creating stores that look great, trade well, and are easy for customers to shop? Join our Space, Range and Display team as a Display Planner, where you'll turn commercial and category strategy into high-impact planograms for more than 570 M&S Food Halls.

You'll take ownership of your categories and work closely with Retail, Commercial, Buying, Product, and Supply Chain teams to deliver clear, practical displays that maximise sales, make the best use of space, and land right first time in stores. This role would suit someone who combines strong analytical thinking with confident partner management, effective planning, and a proactive, solution-focused approach.

**This is a fixed-term contract until November 2027.**

**Due to high interest, this role may close earlier than advertised. We recommend applying as soon as possible.**

### What you'll do

Your key accountabilities will include:

- Own the end-to-end delivery of high-impact planograms and store layouts that improve sales, availability, and ease of shop.

- Partner with Range Planning, Buying, and Product teams to translate category strategy into clear shelf plans and effective product ranges for each space.

- Use sales, stock, and store data to lead micro-space decisions, maximise return on space, and provide recommendations on display performance.

- Deliver range changes to agreed critical paths, maintaining accurate product information, images, dimensions, and system data to support right-first-time execution.

- Visit stores and competitors to review execution, gather feedback, and see opportunities, while supporting new store openings and renewal activity.

### Who you are

Your skills and experience will include:

- Strong analytical skills, with the ability to interpret internal data and market trends and turn them into clear, practical recommendations.

- Confident partner management and influencing skills, with the ability to collaborate across teams and handle contending priorities.

- Excellent planning and project management skills, with experience delivering work to agreed timelines and critical paths.

- Good working knowledge of Microsoft Excel and Power BI; knowledge of Space, Range, and Display processes or planning tools is desirable, although full training will be provided.

- A proactive, solution-focused approach, with the confidence to learn quickly and adapt in a fast-paced retail environment.

### What's in it for you?

Working at M&S means being part of something bigger - helping to deliver quality, value, and service to millions of customers every day. We're inclusive, fast-moving, and always evolving, with a strong sense of purpose and a focus on doing the right thing.
