A rare chance to run your category in a business that trusts its people
This is an opportunity to join a long-established, highly respected non-fashion retailer based in South West London. While the business has a strong heritage, the mindset is refreshingly modern - little red tape, fast decision-making and genuine ownership.
They are now recruiting a Merchandiser to take full responsibility for a category, working in close partnership with the Buyer to drive commercial performance.

Analysing performance and using insight to inform decisions
Working hand-in-hand with the Buyer to shape ranges and trading strategies
Responding quickly to opportunities and risks in a fast-moving environment
There is very little bureaucracy - if you see an opportunity, you'll be encouraged to act on it.

You are likely to bring:
Experience in a merchandising role within retail (non-fashion experience advantageous but not essential)
Strong analytical and planning capability
A confident, pragmatic approach to trading decisions
An entrepreneurial mindset and comfort working with minimal red tape
A collaborative style and strong partnership with Buying
You'll thrive in an environment where you're trusted to run your category and where ideas are welcomed.
