About the Role

From planning and managing stock intake to monitoring performance and identifying opportunities, our Merchandising Team plays a key part in bringing our collections to life throughout stores and online. Working closely with Merch Planning, the team uses sales insights, space analysis and customer demand to shape assortments, optimise option counts and support buying decisions – making sure the right products are in the right place at the exact right time.

You will work collaboratively across Victoria's Secret teams to optimise how products are presented in our stores, making sure every space delivers the best possible customer experience while maximising commercial performance. You'll develop, maintain and analyse product ranges by tier and grade, taking into account sales performance, space productivity, fixtures and customer profiles. You’ll also:

  • Actively review space opportunities across our fleet seasonally (or as they arise) across width and depth of our ranges.

  • Analyse & prioritise risks and opportunities, and their impact on teams and the wider business.
  • Implement innovative space planning strategies that enhance Store experience and productivity.
  • Monitor key metrics like sales per sqft, cover, and Margin return on investment.
  • Partner with Merchandising, Retail, and visual teams to align space with inventory levels across all of our Brands working parallel with the trading calendar.
