Junior Merchandiser | Leeds | £33,000 - £40,000 | 2 days in HQ | Flexible | 26 Days Holiday | Healthcare & Bonus
This is not your average Junior Merchandiser role. We're looking for a "rocket", someone commercially sharp, confident in their decisions, and ready to step up and own their area.
You'll operate as a true mini merchandiser in training, with real responsibility to trade, drive performance, and grow your categories. This is a role for someone who doesn't just report on numbers, but actively uses them to make decisions and influence outcomes.
Reporting directly into the Head of Merchandising, you'll have high visibility, real exposure, and the opportunity to accelerate your development quickly.
You'll be joining a genuinely standout brand, globally recognised, continuously growing (even in a challenging market), and known for having one of the strongest cultures in the industry. This is not a revolving door environment; people stay, develop, and build long-term careers here. This role exists purely due to growth.
