Merchandiser jobs
As a Merchandiser you will typically take ownership of a product range, assisted by the Senior Merchandiser or Merchandising Manager, defining the number of products to be ranged to each store and their depth of stock.
With strong commercial awareness, a Merchandiser will ensure the individual product plans meet the KPI targets for sales and will review weekly trading against these targets.
Merchandisers will be able to confidently identify best and worst sellers and adapt the strategy accordingly to minimise risk and maximise opportunity.
With the ability to forecast accurately, Merchandisers are responsible for implementing promotional plans in order to achieve sales KPIs as well as manage exit plans to clear discontinued stock from stores.
Ensuring stock availability in stores is critical, supported by the ability to deliver a commercially viable range replenishment plan.

As a skilled communicator you will be a confident negotiator and well versed in relationship building.
Commercial acumen is mandatory as a Merchandiser as well as the ability to think strategically.
In a fast-moving market, resilience is a valued quality as well as being an agile thinker and problem solver.
