About Kingfisher...
At Kingfisher, we are driving our exciting strategy for growth – Creating the Leader – which will reinforce our position as a world-class retailer, helping customers have better and more sustainable homes. As a Commercial Graduate, you will have many opportunities to contribute to the growth of our Group by being embedded in the Commercial function of two of our Operating Companies in Europe. Therefore, you will be working on delivering projects critical to the success of our businesses.
About the Role...
We are looking for business-minded candidates who can speak fluent English and French and who show ambition, curiosity, enthusiasm, determination, resilience, collaboration, excellent communication skills at all levels and are committed to their own development. You will be expected to demonstrate appropriate behaviors which reflect our values and are engrained in your day to day activities. Due to the nature of our programme, graduates are expected to be mobile and prepared to move to a different country.
What you will gain...
In return, you will be given the exciting experience of spending time both in the UK and in France, working with our Buying or Product Management teams. We will support you in your development and personal growth, providing you with opportunities to fulfill your potential and be the best you can be.
By the end of the graduate programme, you will have been stretched and challenged; you will have got under the skin of our business and will be ready to drive our business forward in innovative ways. Your two years on the programme will set you up for success and enable you to take on a role within a variety of areas across the Group’s Operating Companies which include B&Q, Brico Dépôt, and Castorama.
So if you want to be part of a dynamic and exciting global retail business and if you are curious, ready to step out of your comfort zone and take risks, join Kingfisher’s Commercial Graduate Programme!
