• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with the Buying, Marketing, Planning and Sales teams to determine optimal stock levels across the network.
• Active Stock Management: Proactively manage store inventories by driving bestsellers, initiating inter-store transfers, and withdrawing underperforming items.
• Commercial Support & Analysis: Prepare analyses and action proposals for weekly commercial meetings. Provide administrative support for pricing decisions, quality control, and physical inventories.
• Store Support: Act as the primary point of contact for all ad-hoc store inquiries (pricing, inventory issues, stock transfers) via our general inbox, and organize your schedule to allow for regular store visits.
• Process Improvement: Critically evaluate current workflows and proactively recommend efficiency improvements, including the integration of AI-driven tools.
• Team Continuity: Serve as the designated backup for E-commerce stock management and support your manager in building a high-performing team.

• Languages: You are fluent in English and either French or Dutch, with a conversational command of the other national language for effective store communication
• Technical Proficiency: You possess good Excel skills (this is an absolute requirement) and are open to exploring and implementing AI-driven tools.
• Mindset: You are highly analytical and enjoy connecting raw numbers to physical fashion products. You have a critical eye, an eagerness to learn, and a drive to improve processes.
