• You should have experience in sales and inventory analysis within merchandising or stock management.
• You will be commercially minded, creative, numerate, and proficient in Excel, capable of performing complex functions. Forecasting sales budgets on seasonal, quarterly, and weekly bases will be part of your role.

What You Bring

• Experience working in a retail environment, possibly as a junior merchandiser ready for the next step.
• Ability to collaborate with others and influence decisions when necessary.
• Flexibility and comfort with change, as live environments can present unexpected challenges.
