Job description

This is an exciting opportunity to join a dynamic and rapidly evolving sports and performance brand that has already established itself in a competitive marketplace. Having gained solid traction both online and in physical retail locations, the brand is now navigating a phase of significant growth and expansion. With the marketplace becoming increasingly competitive, the brand's ability to adapt and innovate has never been more crucial.

As they continue to scale, you'll have the chance to shape the future of a brand that is carving out a strong identity in a fast-paced industry. This is a company on the rise, with significant potential for career development and impact within the broader sports and performance sector.

The Role:

As a Junior Merchandiser, you'll take full ownership of your categories, driving the trading strategy and performance.
You'll be accountable for weekly trade reporting, identifying key actions, and collaborating with the wider team to drive results.
This role involves managing rebuys, phasing, and cancellations based on trade data, while working closely with your buyer to optimise OTB and drive newness each week.
You'll be hands-on in managing WSSI, forecasting and planning for seasonal lines, and tracking stock vs. sales to protect line cards.
Working with your buyer, you'll contribute to range builds, monitor key dates like Black Friday, and ensure pricing strategies align with market trends.
Your role will also involve mentoring Assistant Merchandisers and junior team members, delegating tasks effectively, and identifying "quick wins" to maximise sales.
This is a chance to take on a high-impact role with significant ownership, working in a fast-paced environment to drive growth and continuously optimise performance.
