Merchandiser

Non-Fashion Retailer South West London Category Ownership 50k - 55k 26 Days Holiday + BH Bonus Potential Flexible/Hybrid Working

This is an opportunity to join a long-established, highly respected non-fashion retailer based in South West London. While the business has a strong heritage, the mindset is refreshingly modern - little red tape, fast decision-making and genuine ownership.

They are now recruiting a Merchandiser to take full responsibility for a category, working in close partnership with the Buyer to drive commercial performance.

As Merchandiser, you'll have end-to-end ownership of your category, from planning through to trading. This is a hands-on role where your insight, judgement and commercial thinking will genuinely influence results.

Key responsibilities include:

• Owning the merchandise plan, forecasts and budgets for your category

• Driving sales, margin and stock productivity through effective trading

• Managing range planning, intake and stock levels

• Analysing performance and using insight to inform decisions

• Working hand-in-hand with the Buyer to shape ranges and trading strategies

• Responding quickly to opportunities and risks in a fast-moving environment

There is very little bureaucracy - if you see an opportunity, you'll be encouraged to act on it.

This role will suit a commercially minded merchandiser who enjoys responsibility and autonomy.

You are likely to bring:

• Experience in a merchandising role within retail (non-fashion experience advantageous but not essential)

• Strong analytical and planning capability

• A confident, pragmatic approach to trading decisions

• An entrepreneurial mindset and comfort working with minimal red tape

• A collaborative style and strong partnership with Buying

You'll thrive in an environment where you're trusted to run your category and where ideas are welcomed.

• Long-established retailer with a strong and loyal customer base

• True category ownership and influence

• Entrepreneurial, low-bureaucracy culture

• Collaborative buying & merchandising partnership

• South West London location

This is a brilliant opportunity for a merchandiser looking to step into a role with real responsibility and impact.
