Planning & Programming Graduate Programme

You know QVC. But you might not know how we’ve changed. Part of the Qurate Retail Group, we’re the world’s biggest broadcaster-retailer and the 2nd largest online retailer. We’re on a mission to enrich life’s everyday moments for our customers. We do that by selling exciting brands—from Apple and Dyson to Elemis and Skechers—in exciting ways, across electronics, beauty, fashion, home, garden and more. You can be your authentic self at QVC. While every organisation says it supports inclusivity and diversity we really mean it. You’ll see that in what we do—for example, we’re championing modest fashion right now— and you’ll see it in who we are, because respect and wellbeing run through our veins, from our team member led groups supporting gender, ethnicity, disability, race and LGBTQ+, to our Frazzled Café meets and our menopause friendliness. No matter what role you’re in, when you share your ideas, you’ll always be listened to and always be valued. It’s surprising. It’s rewarding. It’s a lot of fun and it’s so you. We’d love you to be part of it.

As a graduate at QVC, you’ll be…

…At the heart of a very different approach to retail. We sell on TV and across digital, not in store, and that makes life so much more dynamic. If you’re used to planning how much you’ll sell in a week, with us you’ll be planning for the next ten minutes.

Over the 12-month programme you will be fully integrated into our Planning and Programming environment as well as having extensive exposure across many other areas to learn about our Buying, e commerce, non-live and broadcasting teams across the year.

From day one you’ll be given full exposure to our business. You’ll start with a panoramic view of the business and then apply your skills and energy where they’re best suited. You will rotate to experience our three key Planning teams during your year with us, in Home, Fashion and Beauty. You will learn about how and what it takes to be a Planner at QVC.

You’ll have strong communication skills and numerical that enable you to communicate effectively with your team and the wider business.
