Want to be that someone who’s always one step ahead? Our business placements could be just the springboard you’re looking for. Spending 12 months with us, you won’t just learn what it takes to shape the retail industry; you’ll get the chance to show us how you’d do it. There’s something right here for everyone – and everyone’s welcome. Whatever your background, if you’ve got an insatiable appetite for doing things differently, you’re already one of us. All you need now is the experience, exposure, and opportunities to begin building your legacy. To make something more of tomorrow.  

Protect the magic. Modernise the rest. Those are the words of our CEO, Stuart Machin – and the mantra you’ll learn to live by when you join our Space, Range & Display (SRD) Business Placement. Sitting in the Food Group, SRD is at the heart of M&S. Central to how our customers see us, working in this team means understanding how to launch new ranges in stores, making business critical decisions, and working to defined deadlines in a super-efficient way. Those skills combined are how we capture the imagination of our customers and keep them coming back to us, time and time again. Those skills are the ones that’ll set you up for a career as a future leader.
