What you'll need
Curious, detail-focused, organised, strategic thinker.
That's you.
You're someone who likes to question the "why" behind how people think and act; someone who is intrigued by what makes a brand.

Explore the 'why' behind the 'what'.
Your role will cover all things brand and consumer, helping the business understand how the Primark brand is perceived and what the key opportunities are for brand growth.
To do this, you'll work on our brand tracker; working with our external agency to track consumer perceptions of Primark and competitors across numerous international markets.
You'll evaluate consumer reactions to campaigns to understand the impact of marketing activations and help develop future strategy.
On the consumer side, you'll explore the way people think and act, such as by creating consumer profiles, understanding country differences and the impact of media, and responding to ad-hoc requests.
This will develop your skills in a variety of qualitative and quantitative research methods and give you the opportunity to make your mark on Primark.
All this insight needs communicating, so you'll be challenged to present findings in an easy to understand, actionable manner.
With Primark increasingly entering new markets, and consumer trends constantly changing, you'll work creatively to uncover new opportunities and help inform business strategy.
