THE ROLE

Ready to take your retail stock expertise beyond the store? At JD Sports, some of our most exciting product launches, campaign shoots, social content, and eCommerce imagery start long before customers see them online. Behind every shoot is a team ensuring the right product is tracked, prepared, accounted for, and ready to go.

We're looking for a Stock & Sample Coordinator to join our Studio team in Rosebery. This role would be perfect for someone currently working in a Back of House retail operations or inventory role and who is ready for their next career step, wanting to gain exposure to the fast-paced world of Marketing, Content, eCommerce, and Creative Production.

You'll become the subject matter expert for all studio stock and inventory, managing the movement of product used across eCommerce, social media, marketing campaigns and content shoots. If a product isn't in a store or Distribution Centre, there's a good chance it's under your control.

You'll work closely with our Studio, Marketing, Creative Production, Digital and Buying teams to ensure products move seamlessly from arrival, to shoot, to return.

• Work alongside a passionate and high-performing team.
• Learn from experienced specialists and gain exposure to behind-the-scenes content production.
• A collaborative, high-energy and fast-paced culture
• Generous staff discounts for you, friends & family

• Paid parental leave + Birthday leave benefits

What Will Make You Stand Out

• Experience with Excel and inventory systems or stock-tracking tools.
• Knowledge of stock management, auditing and inventory control.
• A proactive mindset with a passion for improving processes and finding solutions.

At JD Sports, we’re passionate about developing our people and creating opportunities for growth. JD values diversity and inclusion and champions a culture where everyone feels valued, included, and celebrated.
