- Build rolling forecasts, replenishment plans, inventory budgets, and initial buy quantities by product, channel, and region.
- Manage in-season performance through reforecasting,



allocation, replenishment, chase, and markdown recommendations.
- Develop channel and region-specific assortments across DTC, department stores, wholesale, marketplaces, and pop-up retail, including account-specific assortments and exclusives where appropriate.
- Partner with Product and Creative to bring commercial and customer insights into collection development and future assortment decisions.
- Partner with E-Commerce and Marketing on product priorities, launch sequencing, and campaign visibility.
- Monitor competitor pricing, product strategies, consumer trends, and market opportunities to inform assortment and pricing decisions.
- Partner with Procurement on buy targets, costs, and delivery windows, with involvement in cost and quality decisions that impact margin or brand standards.
- Monitor and report on sell-through, stock cover, margin, inventory turn, aged inventory, and overall category performance, including Open-to-Buy and inventory governance.

What We’re Looking For

- 4–8+ years’ experience in merchandising, buying, assortment planning, merchandise planning, or inventory planning within premium, luxury, fashion, accessories, beauty, or lifestyle brands




- Strong analytical and commercial decision-making capability
- Advanced Excel / Google Sheets skills; experience with ERP or inventory management systems is highly desirable
- Ability to balance brand vision with commercial discipline
- Experience working across multiple sales channels and international markets is highly regarded
- Confident communicator who can influence stakeholders across creative and commercial teams

- Greater consistency in colour ranging and assortment architecture
- Stronger full-price sell-through and margin performance
- Improved inventory turn with reduced fragmentation and excess stock exposure
- More accurate buying, forecasting, and inventory investment aligned with demand
