What You'll Be Doing:
Support category teams in planning and trading activities to help unlock growth and maximise profitability.
Partner closely with a Senior Merchandiser to deliver in-season performance analysis, proactively identifying risks, and recommending reforecasts where needed.

Help manage the International critical path by aligning key stakeholders to timelines, deliverables, and meeting schedules.
Collate sales history, market insights, and learnings to inform seasonal strategy recommendations.
Analyse best and worst-performing lines, using trade reports to surface insights and make actionable recommendations to improve partner performance.
Work with OTB and stock plans to spot opportunities and highlight risks across markets.

Assist in preparing trade packs, commentary, and present findings in team meetings.
Liaise directly with International Partners and Account Managers to support commercial planning and product strategy, always keeping the end customer in focus.
Be the go-to contact for international commercial queries and step in when the Senior Merchandiser is away.
Continuously look for ways to improve how we work - challenge norms, suggest improvements, and help build best practices in merchandising.
What You'll Bring:
A background in retail merchandising or demand planning with a solid grasp of data-driven decision-making.
Strong analytical and Excel skills, paired with a keen attention to detail.
