Role Summary

Our Merchandise teams work alongside Buying to plan, deliver and trade our product ranges. By reviewing previous seasons’ best-sellers, keeping an eye on new reactions and constantly reviewing our sales forecasts, it’s our Planning teams that make sure we have the right styles in at the right time - and in the right amount.

As a MAA, you’ll play a key role in this – using analysis to help decide which markets receive each style and making sure stores receive the right level of replenishment. You’ll also run reports to help the team spot new sales trends – or perhaps an area that might benefit from some promotional activity – while at the same time liaising with our suppliers to arrange their deliveries into our fulfilment centre.

As you progress, you’ll have the opportunity to support your team with other insight – whether that’s analyzing geographical performance, reviewing a product trial on our website or keeping an eye on what sizes our styles are selling in.
