Job description

Love product, know your numbers and get a kick out of seeing the right stock land at the right time?

Blue Bungalow is looking for a Merchandiser to join our Merchandise team and help turn great product into great commercial outcomes.

This is a hands-on role for someone who loves being close to the product but is equally comfortable getting into the detail - analysing performance, forecasting stock, working with suppliers and spotting opportunities to make a range work harder.

What you'll be doing

You'll coordinate a diverse portfolio of brands and products, including:

• Analysing sales, stock, returns and product performance to understand what's working… and what isn't
• Forecasting units and preparing core line projections to support senior management's stock decisions
• Coordinating purchase orders from placement through to delivery
• Working closely with suppliers on orders, delivery performance and opportunities
• Putting together range boards, size curves and product proposals to support range decisions
• Identifying markdown opportunities and recommendations
• Looking for new colours, exclusives and opportunities within existing assortments
• Keeping product and order data accurate across our systems
• Working closely with our Fulfilment Centre to resolve stock and delivery issues
• Bringing clear, commercial insights back to the wider team

Who we're looking for

You might already be a Junior Merchandiser, Assistant Merchandiser, Buyer's Assistant or Merchandise Coordinator in fashion, and ready to step into a broader role.

You'll ideally bring 1-2 years' experience in retail merchandising, purchasing or procurement, along with strong Excel skills and confidence working with data.

More importantly, you'll be someone who:

• Gets things done. You're organised, accurate and comfortable juggling plenty of moving pieces.
• Builds relationships. You can work confidently with suppliers and internal teams and know when an email, phone call or quick WhatsApp will get the best result.
• Is commercially curious. You want to understand why something sold, why it didn't and what we should do next.
• Loves product. You notice the details and understand that great merchandising starts with knowing our customer.

Why Blue Bungalow?

We're a growing Australian fashion business with a customer who knows us, loves us and expects us to keep getting better.

You'll join a team where you can get close to the product, have a voice in the decisions we make and see the impact of your work — from the numbers on a spreadsheet to what ultimately lands in our customers' wardrobes.
