As Product Assistant for Boots Brand Healthcare, you'll help support the product team in the delivery of the entire product pipeline in the UK.
You will report to one of the Product Managers within the Team and provide administrative support across all team members. You'll be the main coordination point for all partners, and you'll build relationships across the business and our retailer partner, ensuring proactive support.
You'll coordinate the development and sharing of our brand assets, such as product photography.

You will work cross functionally with colleagues, suppliers and our retailer to ensure item codes are generated and vendors are set up correctly, keeping stakeholders engaged and updated along the way.
* You'll manage our cost budget administration, including raising and receipting POs, tracking invoices and keeping the monthly tracker up to date.
* You'll work cross functionally with the team to increase our reviews on Boots.com by running quarterly review panels with our external agency. You will co-ordinate the nominations, budget and customer facing material to ensure we achieve the best reviews from our customer review panel.
* You'll provide administrative support to the product team, being the go-to coordinator for all things from samples, to sales reports, to travel and team building days!
* You'll identify category trends and opportunities across packaging and product in the market. You'll manage quarterly store visits and competitor reviews both in store and online, acting as the eyes of the team to monitor and share back how our products show up on and what we can learn from competitor activity.
* If you have a keen interest in developing your career in product, you'll have countless opportunities to support on new product development project work, such working with the product managers on writing briefs for the manufacturer or developing the packaging design through to artwork creation.

* You'll have a keen eye for detail, ensuring high executional standards in everything you do.
