We are partnering with a high-growth, multi-channel brand that is widely recognised as one of the most exciting and fastest-growing propositions in its sector across Europe. As the business continues to scale, they are now looking to appoint a Senior Merchandiser in a brand new role that will be instrumental in shaping their merchandising function.

This is a unique opportunity to join at a formative stage, where you will play a key role in establishing true merchandising fundamentals within a dynamic, fast-paced environment.



The Role

As Senior Merchandiser, you will take ownership of building and embedding robust merchandising processes and frameworks across the business.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Establishing core merchandising principles, processes and best practice

  • Owning planning, forecasting and trading across key product categories and channels

  • Implementing and managing WSSI and open-to-buy frameworks

  • Driving data-led decision making through detailed analysis and reporting

  • Partnering closely with buying, e-commerce and wider commercial teams

  • Identifying opportunities to optimise stock, improve availability and maximise profitability

  • Playing a key role in shaping the future structure and capability of the merchandising function



About You

You are a commercially driven merchandising professional who thrives in a fast-growth environment and is excited by the opportunity to build something from the ground up.

You will bring:

  • Strong merchandising experience, ideally at Senior Merchandiser level or ready to step up

  • Solid technical expertise in WSSI, open-to-buy and trading analysis

  • A hands-on, proactive approach with the ability to operate both strategically and tactically

  • Excellent analytical skills and confidence working with data

  • Strong stakeholder management and collaboration skills

  • A growth mindset and the ambition to build and lead a team over time



Why Apply?

This is a rare opportunity to take on a genuinely impactful role within one of Europe's most exciting growth businesses. You will have the chance to shape merchandising from the ground up, influence key commercial decisions and build a function that will support the next phase of expansion.

If you are looking for a role where you can combine hands-on delivery with long-term strategic impact, we would love to hear from you.
