Merchandiser
I am thrilled to be working with a fast-growing DTC business that is looking for a Merchandiser to join their team in Hertfordshire, with 2 days per week in the office.
In this newly created role, you will play a critical part in ensuring stock is accurately forecasted, effectively managed and consistently available to support continued growth.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a business experiencing significant growth, where you’ll have the opportunity to make a real impact and help shape the merchandising function as the business continues to scale.
