Do you love turning data into insights that drive better commercial decisions? Are you motivated by working at the intersection of merchandising, inventory and performance?

We are looking for a Specialist, Merchandise Controlling & OTB - Interim to join our Global Merchandise Controlling & OTB team.

In this role, you will be at the heart of Pandora’s merchandise planning process. You will support global planning and reporting, analyse performance and inventory, and help turn complex data into clear insights that support commercial decisions and future buys.

Working across clusters and global teams, you will play an important role in connecting sell-out, sell-in and inventory planning while identifying risks and opportunities along the way.

Your key responsibilities

• Support the consolidation of top-down merchandise financial plans across assigned clusters.
• Analyse cluster assumptions and identify potential risks, gaps and opportunities.
• Support reporting across key commercial metrics including sell-out, revenue, units, ASP and sell-in.
• Conduct performance and variance analysis against budget, forecast and last year.
• Develop and maintain dashboards and reporting tools that enable better decision-making.
• Use AI-enabled tools to strengthen analysis, spot trends and generate actionable insights.

You are naturally analytical and enjoy getting into the detail, but you can also step back and understand the bigger commercial picture. You are structured, proactive and comfortable working in a fast-moving environment where priorities can evolve.

Just as importantly, you enjoy collaborating with others and building strong relationships across teams and markets.

Ideally, you bring:

• A bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Economics, International Business or a related field.

• Experience using AI-enabled tools to improve analysis and efficiency.
• Experience from retail, fashion or FMCG is a strong advantage, while exposure to a global organisation is also beneficial.
