Join a vibrant and forward-thinking company as a Merchandise Assistant, where your analytical skills will help shape product ranges and maximize sales. In this dynamic role, you'll collaborate closely with buying teams to ensure the right styles reach the right markets at the right time. Your insights will drive replenishment strategies and reveal new sales trends, while also fostering relationships with suppliers. This is an exciting opportunity to thrive in a fast-paced retail environment, where your contributions will directly impact the success of the business and its commitment to creativity and inclusivity. Embrace the chance to grow and develop in a supportive atmosphere that values your unique perspective.
Urban Outfitters started out as a single boutique in 1970s Philadelphia with creativity and uniqueness at its core. 50 years on, and over 60 stores across Europe later, we’ve become a destination for emerging design, unexpected styling, One-Of-A-Kind vintage and homeware that makes you want to hit the share button.
We speak to a social community of over 10 million forward-thinking individuals, bringing together a nostalgia for the past with an enthusiasm to shape the future. The UO community are culturally aware, they shape the music scene, they live a digitally native life and they wear style trends before anyone else. At our core, we empower our customers and staff to express themselves, unapologetically, living life in a way that's truly authentic to them.
We are always excited to bring new talent into the room, especially if you share our values:

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.
The retail world is changing fast – it’s an exciting time to get involved.
