Junior Digital Merchandiser

Hybrid: 1-2 days in the office/Support Centre on Hams Hall Distribution Park, Coleshill.

We don’t just sell products. We inspire reading, learning, creativity and play.

You sell the paint that turns someone into an artist. You provide the book that unleashes an inner author. You supply the games that help bring families together. You give someone the puzzle book that reconnects someone with a late family member’s memory.
You never know who someone will become. So with your passion, and our products, you will help ignite the spark in helping people unleash their creativity, find new passions, hobbies, or rekindle fond memories.
The unseen possibilities are limitless, and it all starts with you.

Reporting into the Digital Merchandising Manager for the Books category, you will be responsible for the creation of product content on the website - from a skilfully crafted description to the relevant attributes of optimisation. With a passion for creative copywriting and maximising online sales opportunities, you will be the type of person to take your own initiative and use your creative flair, while also having an analytical mind, that can recognise the importance of data when making website decisions.

You will be working within the scope of The Works’ multichannel strategic pillars on a recently launched Salesforce platform. You will be focused on growing the digital sales performance of TheWorks.co.uk website and DSV channels, specifically for the Books category.
