This is a fantastic foundation role for a graduate looking to kick off their digital career. Working alongside talented team members you will gain exposure to the world of eComm and explore what pathway your career can ultimately go.
The Warehouse Group (TWG) has become a Kiwi household name, and we proudly recognise the role that we play in communities throughout New Zealand. We are the largest general merchandise retailer in NZ with over $3 billion in sales, and employing over 12,000 people across The Warehouse, Warehouse Stationery, Noel Leeming, Torpedo7 and TheMarket.com. To ensure we can adapt quickly to ever-changing customer needs, we’ve adopted an agile structure with a focus on collaboration, productivity and speed-to-market.
The Role
Sitting within the Marketing, Digital & eComm Chapter Area (and reporting to a Digital Specialist Chapter Lead) you will be allocated to our Torpedo7 omnichannel squad, where you will work collaboratively with a cross-functional team.
This parental leave cover role will see approx. half of your time is spent on content publishing. This is where we will rely on your system savviness and HTML/CSS skills to load banners and assets on the site. The rest of your time will be spent in an eComm operations capacity, with tasks such as setting up webstore promotions and reviewing the site to ensure execution is correct. This is where your eye for detail will be key! Our number one aim is to make online shopping a breeze for our customers, and your role plays into this.
You will be joining a cohort of Digital Specialist Chapter Members that are spread across the wider business, so there is the comradery, knowledge sharing, and learning/development opportunities that come hand in hand with joining our Digital Specialist chapter.

Our wish list also includes:
- Attention to detail and a high degree of accuracy with data
- An interest and aptitude for tech
- Basic HTML/CSS

Reviews
Forecasting sales, setting budgets. Loading promotions.
Creation of jobs, screening, shadowing lots of different areas such as phone screening, engaging in a wide array of meetings, solving queries from store managers. Editing job advertisements, working on a self-mangaged project.
My daily tasks involved basic admin work. Once the admin tasks were completed each morning my day to day responsibility's would change depending on what project I was working on. It focused most on sustainably & improving customer experience.

Pros and cons of working at The Warehouse Group
Pros
The workplace environment and the people.
Pay was fantastic, as they did not even need to pay us.
Great HR recruiters, very helpful and always respond so fast.
Excellent, I really believe I have made myself better for future roles, and acquired lots of areas to self-reflect on.
The flexible work environment, the willingness to always help and guide.
Cons
The varied workload, but this was only an issue in the first few weeks.
I did have to move desks often, and it was difficult at times when my mentors sat further away based on the hot desking.
For future roles, it will be great with the job experience, but I believe there won't be much development in my role as after the internship is done there isn't room for us to be employees.
"I cannot specifically remember questions, but it was a lot of self-reflection to see how I could base myself in this role.
One final session on what us as interns did well, and what should our next steps be in our employment in any business.
