At Next, we're not only one of the UK's largest fashion retailers. We're also one of the largest listed companies, full-stop. We sell our products and thousands of world-famous brands, both in-store and online. What's more, we're growing. Fast. And it's the kind of growth and investment that is exciting for everyone in our business.

Let's talk numbers. When it comes to UK retail, it's hard to find a bigger name. We sell thousands of items an hour and are expanding our e-commerce business by the second. For anyone in Merchandising this is the place to learn. To grow. And to thrive.

The Role...

Do you love trends and talking to people all over the world?

Would you like the opportunity to travel globally with your job?

  • Presenting in formal selection and trade meetings
  • Appraising previous season, departmental and supplier base performance to propose new objectives and strategy for future seasons
  • Building successful working relationships with suppliers
  • Planning and reviewing capacity, production, and fabric reservations
  • Accurately maintaining merchandise systems so supplier contracts are confirmed on time, and sizing, forecast sales, returns rate, component lead times, trigger dates and intake phasing are all correct
  • Guiding trainees through their development programme, and managing their daily tasks and activities
  • Controlling spend by managing trigger dates, reviewing open to buy, backing fabric and capacity, reviewing ranking to optimise sales, and always keeping one eye on critical cut date
  • Monitoring in-season performance and taking action to maximise profitability and improve sales

    You'll be doing all this from our Leicestershire Head Office. A fast-paced, encouraging and supportive environment where we never underestimate what we can do. So bring your energy, play to your strengths and never shy away from change. Push yourself, and back others. And make things happen that will be bigger and better than before.
