Merchandise Planner Opportunities

Job Description

As a Merchandise Planner, you'll own the commercial and inventory performance of your categories, partnering closely with Buyers and cross-functional stakeholders to deliver strong customer and business outcomes.

You'll take category strategy and turn it into detailed forecasts, stock plans and trading actions that maximise sales, margin and availability.

No two weeks will look the same! One day you'll be analysing trade performance and identifying opportunities. The next you'll help shape seasonal plans, review promotional performance or adjust forecasts in response to changing customer demand.

This is an opportunity to take real ownership and build a rewarding career in one of retail's key commercial disciplines.
