About the role:

At Lincolnshire Co-op, our Support Services team is dedicated to offering guidance and expertise across our business. Our Central Operations team is key to this, and we're now looking for a Micro Space Manager to join our team and take responsibility for leading the development of insight led category ranges as defined in format blueprints that optimise sales and profit across our trading units.

As our Micro Space Manager, you'll work with the wider commercial and proposition team to optimise the value created from seasonal opportunities and the promotional programme. Alongside this, you'll develop the merchandising strategy for Co-op own brands across our category planners to drive participation from these ranges in line with the format blueprints. You'll use customer, market and commercial insights (including consideration of margin, waste and all types of sales, such as core, impulse, promotional and eCommerce) to maximise the return from all ranged categories within your areas of responsibility and provide commercial support and challenge to the development and continual iteration of space allocation across our trading units.
