Base pay range
Junior Merchandiser | Global Fashion & Lifestyle Brand | £35,000 - £38,000 + Benefits
The Brand
This is one of the UK's most well known retailers - bold in design, market presence, strong in product. They are arguably the UK's most established retail giant that lead the way for the High Street and completely dominant their space. This is a business with big plans and serious momentum, not just in the UK, but globally too.
The Role as Junior Merchandiser
This is a high-ownership opportunity for a confident Junior Merchandiser - or a strong Assistant ready to step up. You'll play a central role in driving performance, managing stock, and ensuring product gets from plan to store with speed and precision. You'll collaborate closely with Buying, Design, and Ecommerce, and you'll be expected to think commercially, act fast, and back decisions with data.
What You'll Be Doing
Lead WSSI updates and ensure buy plans and KPIs are locked and aligned with the Senior Merchandiser
Build out category-level product mixes and range plans, using trade and historical data to shape decisions
Run and analyse weekly trading reports, highlighting risks and opportunities with clear, commercial actions
Manage intake at both category and line level - including PO tracking, on-time deliveries, cancellations and repeats
Own forecasting and performance tracking for all key lines and sub-categories
Support OTB management, markdown proposals, and rebuys to protect margin and drive sell-through
Monitor and respond to in-season trading trends, adjusting the range plan and stock flow accordingly
Work closely with suppliers, brand partners, and internal teams to maintain delivery accuracy and product availability
Partner with Buying and Design to build commercially balanced assortments that reflect brand strategy and customer demand
Track the competition, monitor market trends, and feed insight into planning and product conversations
Support and mentor the Assistant Merchandiser, helping them grow alongside you
