• Forecasting sales trends and stock cover to maximise profit and minimise markdown
• Supporting the delivery of new ranges and promotional plans
• Preparing trade reports and performance dashboards for the wider business
• Working closely with suppliers and distribution to ensure accurate and timely deliveries
• Keeping an eye on market trends and competitor activity to inform buying decisions

What We’re Looking For

You’ll already be working as an Assistant Merchandiser or a similar role and be eager to take the next step in your career. You thrive on data, love solving commercial problems, and are not afraid of a fast-paced, ever-changing environment.

You’ll need:

• Experience with WSSI and solid Excel skills (pivot tables, lookups etc.)
• A strong commercial mindset with a good grasp of forecasting, stock control and sales performance
• Superb organisation and time management
• A proactive attitude and ability to adapt quickly to new challenges
• A collaborative working style able to work across buying, marketing, and operations

This is an exciting opportunity for a Junior Merchandiser to play a key role in the continued success and growth of our business.

At Buy It Direct, we dare to be different. We've built this business from the ground up to become one of the UK's largest and fastest growing online retailers. We are proud of the products and services we provide across our six well recognised, award-winning online brands including Laptops Direct, Appliances Direct, Better Bathrooms and Furniture.
