You will join our dynamic team as the Merchandising Assistant, where you will support the Demand Planner with in-season trading, stock allocation, and replenishment. You will play a key role in maximising sales and minimising markdown by keeping a close eye on product performance and reacting quickly to trends throughout the season.

What You’ll Be Doing

In-Season Trading

- Performance Monitoring: Monitor weekly and daily sales performance by product, category, and store or channel to flag opportunities and risks.
- Trade Reporting: Support the Demand Planner in producing trade reports, identifying best and worst sellers, and preparing regular trade review packs with actionable insights for meetings.
- Strategic Action: Recommend and action markdowns based on sales performance and stock cover.
- Market & Ecom Analysis: Track competitor activity and market trends, conduct regular website performance reviews to support Ecom merchandising decisions, and leverage the key differences between Wholesale and DTC customers to inform trading strategies.

Stock Allocation & Logistics

- Smart Allocation:



Support the planned allocation of stock to warehouses based on sales history, size curves, and customer profiles.
- Inventory Balancing: Balance stock across locations to reduce imbalances, overstocks, and lost sales from poor availability.
- Delivery Coordination: Work closely with the Production and Logistics teams to ensure timely and accurate deliveries.

Replenishment & Inventory Management

- Order Management: Monitor stock levels and cover against sales trends, raising repeat orders as needed.
- Risk Identification: Identify fast-sellers at risk of running out and slow-sellers at risk of excess stock.
- Intake Planning: Support intake and reorder planning by working with the Demand Planner and Production on lead times and MOQs.
- Data & Sizing: Maintain accurate report data (including line cards and WSSIs), review required sizing infills by style or warehouse, and assess marketplace allocations to maximise channel potential.

What You’ll Bring to the Team

- Experience: 1–3 years of experience in a merchandising, allocation, or retail analytics role, or a strong retail and numerate background with relevant internship experience.
- Tech Stack: Strong Excel skills with comfort managing large datasets. Experience with the Style Arcade platform is preferred, but non-essential.
- Analytical Mindset: Excellent numerical and analytical skills combined with high attention to detail.
- Commercial Acumen: Good commercial awareness and a genuine interest in product and market trends.
- Organisation & Drive: Strong communication skills for cross-functional work, with the ability to prioritise and manage multiple tasks under tight deadlines.
