Graduate Trainee - Visibility & Merchandising (Retail Design)
Location
Barcelona, Spain
Duration
12-month, immediate starting
About the Role
We are looking for a highly motivated and detail-oriented Trainee to join our Visibility & Merchandising team in Iberia.
This is a unique opportunity to gain experience managing permanent retail furniture projects for some of the world's leading prestige beauty brands across Spain and Portugal.
The selected candidate will support the development and implementation of permanent merchandising solutions in department stores and perfumery chains, coordinating multiple stakeholders including suppliers, retailers, internal marketing teams, finance, procurement, and global merchandising teams.
