Seasalt Allocator Role
About Seasalt
Seasalt began in 1981 with a small shop in Penzance, selling workwear to local mariners and practical overalls to artists. Today, we’ve grown into a thriving omnichannel retailer with over 80 UK and Ireland stores, 400+ wholesale stockists, and a growing international and online footprint.
As a B Corp and winner of both Drapers “Best Place to Work” and CIPD’s “Best Recognition Programme”, we care deeply about our people, our communities, and our long-term impact.
About the Role

- Preparing initial allocations for our retail and clearance stores and partners.
- Maintaining effective replenishment for our stores and partners in line with trade, from both a product and store perspective.
- Carrying out any operational tasks to ensure systems are accurate and complete in time for wholesale stock dispatch.
- Releasing sales orders for wholesale customers for pick and dispatch in line with the order book to achieve sales targets; raising and resolving any issues that arise that may impact order fulfilment.
- Allocating Wholesale SMS samples to agents within required timeframes.
- Balancing stock between stores, channels, and warehouses, ensuring that stock is well-managed and satisfies demand for online sales and wholesale orders.
- Understanding category performance by store and key styles, proposing opportunities.
- Being aware of the local market level risks and opportunities, using this knowledge to shape immediate actions and longer-term plans.
- Supporting the Channel Merchandising team with store queries, preparing and analysing weekly trade figures, forecasting, and ad-hoc tasks where required.
