Summary
The Role
We are looking for an Assistant Merchandiser to join our Partnerships department. This is an integral spot in a team that is both forward thinking and genuinely friendly. You will be helping us land our stock strategy and keeping our plans in perfect harmony with our partners, including Marks & Spencer, John Lewis and Zalando.
What You’ll Do
- Master the Range: You will deliver a seasonal framework, using sales and profit analysis to predict exactly where our next big opportunity lies.
- Keep Things Moving: You will ensure the range hits financial plans, adjusting as the season progresses and keeping the team on track.
- Partner Up: You will work closely with our partners and the broader team to share seasonal strategies, communicating clearly so everyone is in the loop.

- The Right Mindset: You are adaptable, and a true team player who loves getting stuck in. You are not afraid to try new things, learn from mistakes, and celebrate the wins together.
- The Toolkit: You have experience in a similar role, ideally within a fashion business.
- The Details: You are a whiz with Excel or Google Sheets and have a high standard of commercial acumen. You can look at a set of figures and see the story they are telling.
- A Creative Eye: You have a genuine interest in fashion and a preppy, fresh aesthetic that aligns with our heritage roots.
- Communication Skills: You are a natural when it comes to negotiation and presentation, able to influence others while staying approachable and relatable.
