About the Job

We are currently recruiting for a Merchandise Planning Assistant on a 12 month FTC, to support the administration of the Merchandising teams through efficient and detailed database and systems management, report generation, and information exchanges between departments across the business.

In this critical role you will be supporting the wider Merchandise Planning team and working alongside a range of global teams including Retail, Trade, Web, Logistics, Manufacturing, Design Studios, Marketing, and the wider Buying & Merchandising department.

To be successful in this role you will have good literacy, numeracy and computer skills, especially MS office / Google suite. You will have experience of using system databases and software, particularly around the population, adjustment and extraction of data.

Detail-oriented, with a particular focus on administration, organisation and communication, you are comfortable working unsupervised and as part of a team, and remain calm and focussed under pressure. Ideally, you might also have experience working in a fast paced, omnichannel sales environment.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a busy, highly international and very well established company that continues to lead the industry and delight our customers. If you want to be part of our exciting future, we want to hear from you!

This is a hybrid role, working remotely, with 2 - 3 days at our Nottingham Head Office.

Closing date: Applications must be received by midnight on Sunday 2nd November 2025.

Working at Games Workshop

At Games Workshop we are looking for people who will do their best to understand the needs of the company and to put those needs first when they are at work. Because of this we believe that what you are like, hence the attitude you show to work and the way you choose to behave is even more important than your skills and experience.

The Warhammer World site is based just outside of Nottingham city centre and benefits from a nearby tram stop and free onsite car parking.

In return for your hard work, you will receive 33 days holiday per year (including public holidays), matching contributory pension scheme up to 7.5%, profit share bonus (subject to GW meeting profit targets) and option to join our Share Save scheme. Oh and let's not forget, a staff discount of between 25% and 50% on our products!
