This is a fast growing eCommerce apparel brand operating at the intersection of performance and lifestyle. The business has built strong momentum through a clear product vision, agile supply chain, and a deep understanding of its customer. With continued investment across product, merchandising, and sourcing, the brand is scaling quickly and evolving its internal structure to support further growth.

The merchandising function is still developing, with a clear focus on improving processes, visibility, and trading performance. It’s a hands on environment where you’ll get exposure across the full product lifecycle and work closely with product, sourcing, and warehouse teams. For someone earlier in their career, it offers strong progression potential and the chance to build real commercial experience quickly.

The Assistant Merchandiser role offers broad exposure and progression and would be ideal for a Merchandise Assistant Admin stepping up or an early Assistant Merchandiser looking to deepen their commercial and trading experience in a fast paced brand.

As the Assistant Merchandiser, you will be responsible for:

• Support the Merchandiser in driving sales, availability, and profitability
• Create and maintain intake and delivery schedules aligned to business targets
• Manage wholesale availability, bookings, and deliveries
• Produce weekly trading reports covering stock, sales, profit, and markdown
• Provide analysis to support trading decisions and influence performance
• Conduct ad-hoc analysis to support wider business needs
• Raise and ratio purchase orders in line with buy plans
• Manage critical path, ensuring supplier deliveries stay on track
• Own rebuys and core availability to maximise sales opportunities
• Liaise with the warehouse to coordinate bookings and deliveries
• Work cross functionally with product, sourcing, and operations teams

As the Assistant Merchandiser, you will have the following skills and experience:

• Currently a Merchandise Assistant Admin ready to step up or already operating at the Assistant Merchandiser level

• Experience within fashion retail or apparel (own-brand beneficial)
• Strong Excel skills and confidence working with data
• Highly organised with the ability to manage multiple deadlines
• Commercial mindset with good judgement and decision-making
• Confident communicator, able to work cross-functionally
• High attention to detail and accuracy
• Positive, proactive attitude and comfortable in a fast paced environment
