Supply
Giving our customers what they want every time!
Asda is famous for delivering quality products at great value. It's what our customers expect whenever they shop with us. We have to make sure we have the products they want, available on shelf in store, ready for them to buy when they want them! This is where we come in. Our supply teams manage a huge network of global suppliers, so that we’re able to deliver customers’ product needs on time, every time! This involves managing the flow of our products from suppliers as far away as the Far East all the way through to the shelves in our stores, and in the most profitable way possible.
So what are we looking for?
You'll need to be an analytical thinker with attention to detail and the ability to work under pressure and to meet deadlines. You need to develop and manage strong relationships at all levels as you will be working with a variety of Asda teams, from the Traders who source our products right through to our store managers. It’s important that you quickly develop a thorough understanding of the Asda supply chain, right through from supplier to customer. You must be able to think clearly, prioritise effectively and keep us one step ahead of the competition.
And what will you get from us?
Our scheme offers an intensive development framework with clearly defined goals. From day one, you’ll be expected to make real decisions about real issues in the retail world. This fast track programme of learning has been designed to create a great foundation for an outstanding career. From here, you could find yourself working in any department, managing the availability of anything from iPods to ice-cream. We'll coach you to think on your feet, adapt to change and thrive in one of the most demanding, yet rewarding areas of our business. By the end of it, most of our graduates are fully prepared for their first big management role. And that means having substantial responsibilities: leading a team of people, and running an area of the business worth millions of pounds. And remember Asda is part of Wal*Mart, the world’s biggest retailer, so if working for a global company is your aim, then the sky is the limit!
What do I need to apply?
We consider applications from graduates with a 2:1 honours degree in any discipline, but if you have a related degree, that would be ideal.
Where will I be based?
This role is based at Asda House in Leeds.
