Trainee Merchandiser (Travel & Equipment)
Job Location
Job Description
So what's a Trainee Merchandiser? No, that's visual merchandising, but don't worry, everyone thinks that. This role has nothing to do with visual merchandising.
This type of Merchandise department is quite often regarded as the commercial heart of a business though. Based at Head Office, a Merchandise department will make a number of commercial & analytical recommendations & decisions.
A Merchandise department will:
**Produce weekly & monthly trade analysis reports to the business on key product categories including the weekly sales & stock intakes (WSSI)
**Identify supply & demand strengths, weaknesses, opportunities & threats, as well as sales & profitability.
**Work closely with our Hong Kong office, global manufacturing & supplier partners to understand & forecast supply flow, timings, scenarios & solutions.
**Work closely with our stores, online, marketing, finance, & our UK & International sales teams to limit overstock, or understock scenarios, & in creating cost effective solutions where needed.
Basically, making sure the business commercially maximises profitability from analysing & forecasting supply & demand.
Role of Trainee Merchandiser.
So as part of global multichannel Merchandise department, your role as a Trainee Merchandiser is to support the team in accomplishing the above. This is a foundation level role within the team and department, so plenty of admin involved (checking data is correct from spreadsheets and highlighting any differences) but a role where we can build on those foundations, giving you that development, experience, exposure and insight to help build a career within the incredible world of global multichannel merchandising.
This is an unbelievable opportunity for someone wanting to take that initial step into a “business” role. Ideal for someone who loves unearthing the mysteries of a good excel spreadsheet or two. Someone who is solutions minded, a strong communicator, amazing attention to detail, and wants to learn.
To Apply for this rare business minded opportunity, simply take those amzing first steps and apply today.
Note: this role will be based 3 days a week at our Head Office on the outskirts of Huddersfield, 2 days working from home.
