What will I be doing as an Apprentice?

Your main purpose within this apprenticeship is to support the commercial department mainly in product set up and the continued updates during the life cycle. Other duties include analytics on products/patterns/sales in markets. You will be part of the Commercial/Global Supply function and reports to the Commercial Analyst. You will develop and maintain positive working relationships with management, peers, colleagues and key customers in the interest of achieving business objectives. The role will require you to spend most of your time at the Orme Street site. However, business meetings, off site training and other visits will form part of the role. The specific demands of the role are described through the principal accountabilities outlined below: 

• Set up and maintenance of products sku’s in ERP system and linked platform.
• Project work surrounding analytics of products/pricing/volumes customer or supplier.
• Reviewing pricing from suppliers vs previous year or competition
• Basic costings from supplier to customers
• Supporting PM with costings where appropriate

What could the future look like?
There’s no limit to what you can achieve while working with Steelite International. Their team is at the heart of what they do, and they are looking for someone who wants to play a key part in that long term.   Through ‘on-the-job’ training you’ll have the opportunity to learn new skills to provide competency and responsibility in carrying out testing and to help develop your career.  Hard work and determination will be recognised!

What will you bring?

Qualifications

It’s about enthusiasm, not school results. In our experience the most successful apprentices are those who are driven to find out more about the sector, can be up front about what they do and don’t already know, are considerate, self-reflective, and impatient to learn the job role!    Experience

Whilst previous experience is great, we at Tiro are always open to wildcards. We’re not just interested in experience and qualifications; we’re looking for someone with the right attitude and aptitude to fit right in at Steelite International. 

About you

We’re looking for someone who is tech savvy, loves analysing data, finding patterns, and extracting stories from that data. 

Someone who is brave enough to be themselves, with enough self-confidence to be able to communicate with a range of different people.  You’ll also need to be highly motivated, resilient, and able to think on your feet to help solve problems whilst remaining professional and respectful.  This is the ideal opportunity for someone who has a genuine passion to work within commercial data analytics.  To succeed in this apprenticeship, you’ll need bags of enthusiasm, be a fantastic collaborator and be hungry to learn!

Even if this doesn’t sound quite like you, but you still think you could do a great job in the role, get in touch. We’re always open to wildcards.

So how does the apprenticeship work?

At Tiro we’re obsessed with changing lives through science and technology apprenticeships so we can’t wait to have you on board. Over 18 months, you’ll devote a minimum of 6 hours of your working week on ‘off the job’ training. This can include theory training (for example, virtual lessons & online learning), alongside practical training (for example shadowing, mentoring, & time spent writing assignments. Together this will count towards a Level 3 Data Technician apprenticeship. You’ll be trained by an expert tutor from Tiro as well as an experienced mentor at Steelite International who together, will make sure you develop the knowledge, skills, and work habits you’ll need to succeed in your career.  Being an apprentice is hands-on, so you’ll get the chance to learn things you might otherwise not have experienced in a university or college environment. The best part? You’ll be earning a salary while you gain your qualifications, meaning no huge student loans to pay back at the end of the programme!   Want to know more? Check out the apprenticeship standards here.
