Merchandising Manager | Established & High-Performing UK Retailer | Security and Growth Potential | No Red Tape Nonsense
Location: Cambrideshire
Salary: Competitive + benefits
Reporting to: Senior Trading Leadership
About the Role
We're partnering with one of the most successful and secure fashion businesses in the UK today to find an experienced Merchandising Manager to join their team.
This is a business built on a genuinely established, trusted brand name - growing organically through that reputation, and growing further through acquisition. Off the back of consistently strong performance, the business is now investing in headcount within its merchandising function, which has traditionally run lean. This role is being added because growth demands it - not to plug a gap or fix a problem.
It's a rare combination: the stability and resource of a well-established, secure business, without the corporate frustrations that so often come with that scale. You'll join a good, established team, with good leadership above you - and genuinely strong timing, joining at the point the function is being invested in and built out.
