Job Description

Assistant Merchandiser Yorkshire 27,000 - 30,000 2 Days WFH

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

If you're currently feeling like you're constantly hitting ceilings, or wondering when your hard work will finally be recognised, this could be the move that changes everything.

Absolutely incredible opportunity with a business that's already doing circa 200m turnover, backed by a 30-strong merchandising and product function, and showing zero signs of slowing down. With continued category expansion planned, this is a genuinely exciting time to join a brand that's thriving in what remains a volatile retail market.

There's huge momentum here. Too much growth, pace, and opportunity for you to ever feel stuck.

  • Building and maintaining accurate intake and delivery schedules aligned to business targets

  • Managing wholesale availability, bookings, and deliveries

  • Delivering weekly trading analysis across KPIs including stock, profit, and markdown

  • Providing commercial insights and analytics to support decision-making

  • Conducting ad-hoc analysis to support wider business needs

  • Raising and managing purchase orders in line with buying and delivery schedules

  • Owning the critical path, managing supplier changes, and keeping stakeholders informed

  • Managing monthly rebuys and stock availability

  • Liaising with the warehouse to coordinate deliveries and bookings

  • Working cross-functionally across the business to drive key objectives

What We're Looking For

  • Experience within fashion retail merchandising

  • Currently operating at Assistant Merchandiser level, or a strong MAA ready to step up

  • Advanced Excel and strong analytical/planning capability

  • Confident communicator who enjoys cross-functional collaboration

  • Highly organised with excellent prioritisation skills

  • Strong commercial judgement and decision-making ability

  • Comfortable taking and backing calculated risks

  • Excellent attention to detail and accuracy

  • Strong customer awareness and genuine product passion

  • Interest in market trends and brand growth

  • Energy, ambition, and drive to succeed in a scaling environment

Benefits

  • Genuine progression opportunities as the business continues to grow

  • Fast-paced, empowering culture where impact is recognised

  • Opportunity to grow with one of the most exciting fashion brands in the market right now
