• Own markdown and promotion strategy to protect and grow buying-in and achieved margin.
• Plan stock across territories so the right product is in the right market at the right time.
• Line-manage and develop the Junior Merchandiser, who looks after wholesale, dropship and in-season ATS.
• Present weekly trading reports by territory to the Head of Merchandising and senior team.
• Shape ranges and pricing with Buying and Design, and represent merchandising at trade meetings and range reviews.
