The Brand
Launched in 2019, Rebecca Udall is a luxury brand designing and curating fine linens and homeware across Bed, Bath, Table and Home Décor. Our collections champion European heritage alongside artisan and heritage craftsmanship – from hand painted crockery to Murano glassware and hand-stitched bed linens.
Our homeware is designed to elevate the everyday through a layered, European aesthetic and utilising the finest natural fibres. It’s an exciting time to join the brand - we are growing fast and building our team for the next stage of growth.
Role Overview
We are looking for a commercially sharp, autonomous Merchandiser to take ownership of the numbers behind the range: planning stock to demand, monitoring performance and turning data into clear, actionable recommendations for the wider leadership team, translating strategic direction into day-to-day trading discipline.
This is a hands-on role for someone who can combine strong analytical and trading skills with creative range development and a practical, collaborative approach. You will work directly with an assistant merchandiser and head of merchandiser plus wider stakeholders including the Founder, Product team, Marketing & eCommerce and Operations teams, with your analysis and recommendations directly influencing range, pricing, stock and investment decisions.
The ideal candidate will be comfortable working independently, taking ownership of the merchandising function, supporting budget delivery through effective stock planning and building structure and processes as the business continues to grow.
Key Responsibilities
Trading & Performance
- Own weekly and monthly trade reporting including KPIs, category performance and product-level analysis.
- Identify key trends, risks and opportunities and recommend appropriate actions.
- Highlight slow and best sellers, stock cover issues and emerging opportunities early.
- Maintain accurate category, product, age and margin classifications to support effective reporting.
