At Neptune, every product we create tells a story-of craftsmanship, purpose, and the quiet beauty of considered design. Behind the curtain of our collections sits a team of people making sure everything arrives just as it should: in the right place, at the right time, in just the right amount. As our Junior Merchandiser, you'll play a central role in shaping that story.
You'll take the lead on WSSI and OTB planning across categories-building and managing tools that bring clarity to our numbers, spotting risks and opportunities as they arise, and guiding seasonal budgets with care. You'll help shape our ranges through considered analysis, setting buy quantities and supporting option planning in line with trading patterns.
Working closely with our logistics, buying, and digital teams, you'll ensure product flow aligns with demand. Alongside that, you'll refine reporting tools, monitor performance, and manage stock levels with an eye for detail and a calm, solutions-focused approach.
