About the role:
Job Title: Assistant Share Schemes Manager
Location: Head Office, Leicestershire
Salary: Competitive base plus bonus & benefits
Ready for your next step with one of the UK’s most loved brands?
At NEXT, we’re proud to be a trusted name in retail — with over 800 stores across the UK and Ireland, a thriving global online presence in 70+ countries, and a people-first culture that genuinely supports career growth.
We’re looking for an Assistant Share Schemes Manager to join our close-knit Company Secretariat team. This opportunity has come up due to an internal promotion — a real reflection of how we support development and progression at every level.
This is a great opportunity to step into a specialist role where your skills in communication, coordination, and data analysis will have real impact. You’ll be central to the smooth delivery of our employee share plans — from day-to-day management to key milestones like grants, releases, and maturities.
You’ll work closely with internal teams and external advisors, helping colleagues across the business understand the value of their share scheme benefits — and ensuring we deliver them in the right way.
There’s also plenty of room to bring your ideas — we’ll look to you to help evolve and improve the way we work, from processes to communications.
What You’ll Be Doing
You don’t need to have ticked every box to apply — what matters most is your mindset and willingness to get stuck in. If you bring a curious, proactive attitude and love working in a collaborative environment, we’ll support you to grow into the role.
That said, here are some of the qualities that will help you thrive:
You know Next, but did you know we’re a FTSE-100 retail company employing over 35,000 people across the UK and Ireland. We’re the UK’s 2nd largest fashion retailer and for Kidswear we’re the market leader. At the last count we have over 500 stores, plus the Next Online and it’s now possible to buy on-line from over 70 countries around the world! So we’ve gone global!
About The Team
We aim to support all candidates during the application process and are happy to provide workplace adjustments when necessary. Should you need support with your application due to a disability or long-term condition, feel free to get in touch with us by email [email protected] (please include 'Workplace Adjustments' in the subject line), or call us on 0116 284 2486 and leave a voicemail.
