Apprenticeship: Digital & Ecommerce Product Team

Your Journey

If you don’t already know us, Sweaty Betty is a global activewear and lifestyle brand for women.

We’re also a community that believes fitness is a flip-the-switch trigger for becoming the woman you want. Leggings and sports bras won’t change the world on their own. But with a grab-my-hand, let’s-go-for-it-now spirit, the women who wear them can.

As Sweaty Betty continues its global expansion, we are looking for an apprentice to join the Digital and eCommerce Product Team - responsible for building and optimising all the software applications behind Sweaty Betty's eCommerce website! 

As the eCommerce Product team apprentice, you will work with various internal and external teams to develop, test and improve our web application, delivering an exceptional customer journey and best-in-class digital experiences across all devices. This role gives you the opportunity to innovate and work on real projects, learn on the job from people who have a vast amount of industry experience, whilst working towards a recognised apprenticeship qualification.

You love change and are always looking for ways to improve what we do and how we do it, and as a team player you know you can’t do this alone so building relationships across the business and project teams is essential to success. As a key member of the team, you will be pivotal to the future of Sweaty Betty, driving growth through our digital channels.

Our D&I Commitment

Our mission is to empower all women.  This means doing more and working harder to make the long-lasting changes necessary to become an inclusive, diverse and actively anti-racist company. We care about our people, our community, our world.  And we want to stand up for what we believe in. 

We want to give our people a platform to use their voice. And actively listen and learn from what they have to say.  This involves focusing on learning, development and progression across the business.  Training our leaders, managers and teams about their rights under our equality, diversity and inclusion policy. And being clear on the responsibilities we hold to each other and our community. It also means being committed to equal employment opportunities. Ensuring we consider ALL applicants for jobs. And work harder to make our job advertising more inclusive. 

Ultimately, we’re working to create a culture and team that represents our customers, our community and our mission of empowerment. We want to celebrate our diversity and the power it gives our team and our business. 

We know we’re on a journey. And far from perfect. But we want to be a part of the solution to the problem. It might not be comfortable or straightforward. But if we weren’t up for doing the hard work and breaking the mould, we wouldn’t be Sweaty Betty.  We are committed to working across our business and with our Internal Diversity & Inclusion Squad to be champions, allies and inclusive, always. Because when we say All, we mean it.
