ESG Data Analyst
THE ROLE
At Debenhams Group, we’re redefining the future of fashion retail. With a bold vision and a commitment to sustainability, we’re building a business that’s fit for the future. As part of our ESG, Sourcing & Quality team, we’re looking for an ESG Data Analyst to support our ESG data strategy and reporting processes.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone with strong data skills and a passion for sustainability to make a real difference in a fast-paced environment.
This role will be based full-time, in-person in our London office.
YOUR TEAM
ESG, Sourcing & Quality is reimagining how the Group works globally. We cover Sustainability, Sourcing, Ethical Trade, Product Quality and Operational Efficiency. We turn challenges into opportunities so we can be as commercially and operationally effective as possible while still being ethical and sustainable. In some companies, what we do gets split into many smaller teams. Not us. Together we align all areas and achieve our goals, constantly pushing for better.
