About the Role
Our client, a £multi-million charity with a strong retail arm, is seeking a commercially sharp, hands-on Merchandiser to take ownership of stock trading and maximise the financial return from donated stock.
The role will use sales and stock data, alongside commercial judgement, to determine which stores are best placed to sell different products. Responsibilities include:
- Allocating stock quickly
- Replenishing strong sellers
- Identifying and moving slow-moving stock
- Setting prices that balance speed of sale, stock levels and overall financial return
Building strong relationships with stores, warehouse, CSR, supply chain and planning teams will be essential. The Merchandiser will stay close to what is happening on the shop floor and in the warehouse, responding quickly to opportunities and resolving issues. This is a hands-on role requiring someone comfortable working directly with stock and colleagues. An Assistant Merchandiser reports in.
