• Event Platform Support (Splash): Assist store teams in building and publishing event pages on the Splash platform, helping ensure event information is clear, consistent, and aligned with brand standards. Develop familiarity with event tooling and support troubleshooting where needed.

• Administrative & Project Support: Provide support across day-to-day administrative tasks, reporting and ongoing retail marketing projects, including new store openings and ad hoc initiatives. Learn how retail marketing programs come together while helping maintain structure and organisation across the team.
