Beyond forecasting and inventory management, this role brings a strong commercial and category growth mindset, partnering closely with Category Planning, Marketing and Sales to identify growth opportunities and inform assortment, product development, pricing and go-to-market decisions.

• Develop forecasts and commercial assumptions for new product launches, partner with Category Planning, Marketing, Visual Merchandising and Sales on go-to-market plans and track post-launch performance against targets to identify opportunities for optimisation.
• Review SKU and category pricing performance, competitor benchmarks and customer response to identify pricing opportunities and support pricing recommendations.
• Partner with Marketing and Sales to understand upcoming campaigns, promotional activity and commercial priorities, incorporating these into forecasts and identifying opportunities to accelerate demand.
• Lead demand inputs during the monthly S&OP process, highlighting risks and opportunities across sales, inventory and availability and recommending appropriate actions.
• Partner with Supply Chain, Procurement and Buying teams to manage inventory flow and clearance strategies, while maintaining appropriate stock availability against expected demand.
• Partner with Business Intelligence and relevant stakeholders to continuously improve forecasting methodologies, reporting and forecast accuracy.

What You’ll Need:

• 2–5 years of experience in Demand Planning, Merchandise Planning, Category Planning or another analytically driven commercial role within retail, ecommerce or a consumer business.
• Strong commercial instincts and numerical aptitude, with the ability to translate sales, inventory, customer and market insights into clear business recommendations.
• Strong category mindset, with a good understanding of assortment planning, product lifecycle management, new product launches, pricing and promotional planning.
• Strong problem-solving skills, with confidence navigating complex datasets and working across sales, margin, inventory and pricing metrics.
• Strong stakeholder management and influencing skills, with the confidence to challenge assumptions and communicate a clear point of view across cross-functional teams.
• Highly flexible and adaptable, with the ability to manage changing priorities and operate effectively in a fast-moving environment.
• Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel; experience with forecasting, BI or planning tools is advantageous.
• Furniture, homewares or other considered-purchase retail experience is advantageous.
