Job Description

Senior Assistant Merchandiser
London - Hybrid working
Competitive

Ready to take the next step in your merchandising career?
If you love turning numbers into smart decisions, thrive in a fast-paced retail environment, and enjoy being right at the heart of trading a product range-this could be your perfect next move.


We're on the lookout for a Senior Assistant Merchandiser to join a passionate and collaborative team. This is a brilliant opportunity to step into a role where you'll have real ownership, influence decisions, and play a key part in driving performance across a dynamic product area.


What you'll be doing
No two days will look the same-but you'll be getting stuck into things like:

  • Managing stock levels and making sure products land at the right time
  • Supporting trading decisions, including promotions and markdowns
  • Owning and updating the WSSI, keeping forecasts sharp and actionable
  • Planning and forecasting at line level to maximise sales and minimise risk
  • Working closely with Buying, Marketing, Warehouse, and Finance teams
  • Building strong supplier relationships and supporting production planning
  • Coaching and developing junior team members
  • Stepping up to deputise for the Merchandiser when needed

You'll also have the chance to visit stores, analyse performance, and bring fresh ideas to the table-your voice will definitely be heard.


What we're looking for
You might already be an experienced Assistant Merchandiser ready for that next step, or someone who's been operating at a senior level and wants more ownership.
We'd love to see:

  • Strong numerical and analytical skills (you enjoy digging into the detail)
  • Confidence managing your own area and juggling multiple priorities
  • Solid experience with WSSI, forecasting, and stock management
  • Great communication skills-you build relationships easily
  • A proactive, commercial mindset with a curiosity for the market
  • Good Excel skills and comfort working across systems

What's in it for you?

  • Competitive salary + bonus
  • Hybrid working (with a collaborative office culture)
  • Generous staff discount from day one
  • A fun, social environment where people genuinely enjoy working together
  • A business that encourages new ideas and supports career growth

Why join?
This is a team that combines ambition with a down-to-earth, supportive culture. You'll be encouraged to take ownership, try new approaches, and grow your career in a business that values both results and people.
