A rare chance to run your category in a business that trusts its people
This is an opportunity to join a long-established, highly respected non-fashion retailer based in South West London. While the business has a strong heritage, the mindset is refreshingly modern - little red tape, fast decision-making and genuine ownership.
They are now recruiting a Merchandiser to take full responsibility for a category, working in close partnership with the Buyer to drive commercial performance.
The Role
As Merchandiser, you'll have end-to-end ownership of your category, from planning through to trading. This is a hands-on role where your insight, judgement and commercial thinking will genuinely influence results.
Key responsibilities include:
Owning the merchandise plan, forecasts and budgets for your category
Driving sales, margin and stock productivity through effective trading
Managing range planning, intake and stock levels
Analysing performance and using insight to inform decisions
Working hand-in-hand with the Buyer to shape ranges and trading strategies
Responding quickly to opportunities and risks in a fast-moving environment
There is very little bureaucracy - if you see an opportunity, you'll be encouraged to act on it.
About You
This role will suit a commercially minded merchandiser who enjoys responsibility and autonomy.
You are likely to bring:
Experience in a merchandising role within retail (non-fashion experience advantageous but not essential)
Strong analytical and planning capability
A confident, pragmatic approach to trading decisions
An entrepreneurial mindset and comfort working with minimal red tape
A collaborative style and strong partnership with Buying
You'll thrive in an environment where you're trusted to run your category and where ideas are welcomed.
Why Join?
Long-established retailer with a strong and loyal customer base
True category ownership and influence
Entrepreneurial, low-bureaucracy culture
Collaborative buying & merchandising partnership
South West London location
