You will be working as a key partner to a major retail group, where you take the role as primary contact for them, taking responsibility for the ongoing relationship with this client, as well as cultivating this relationship to enable revenue growth for the business.

One key advantage with this client is that you will be working on your projects end to end, from feasibility through to handover, what this gives you is a large element of control and additionally an opportunity to work with the client to prioritise certain stores and deliver ahead of time, which will add significant value to both the process and the relationship.
