As an Assistant Merchandiser for PrettyLittleThing, you'll have an eye for detail and being analytical is at the forefront of everything you do. Within the role at PLT, you'll be responsible for using relevant data to ensure the sales are optimised for your department. You'll support the planning of budgets and work closely with our Senior Merchandisers to make impactful decisions across our global platform.

Your team

We live and breathe data, trends and fashion. Our vision is clear: we want to be the global market leader, always first to market. We push boundaries and never get stuck in old habits. Without us, the Group wouldn't be able to keep up with stock levels and demand. Our customers want their wardrobe to be on-trend, and they want it now, so we work with Buying to analyse performance, predict what customers want and what will sell and then make it happen.

Your responsibilities
  • You'll be using data to optimise the sales volume and profitability of your product areas
  • Support planning of budgets by category, option count, and depth of buy, based on the overall business and financial goals of the company
  • Control stock levels based on weekly sales and stock intakes (using the WSSI).
  • Review sales forecasts based on performance and action re-forecasts where necessary.
  • Analyse and monitor the best and worst sellers, using this information to make informed trade actions on a weekly basis.
  • Recommend any promotions and re-buys where necessary, using relevant data to make these decisions.
  • Monitor and maintain the buying and gross profit margins as requested.
  • Support the Merchandising Admin Assistant with any administrative tasks and develop their skill set where needed.
Working with us

To succeed here, you have to love working at pace. It's relentless, but we love it. Change is a certainty – you need to adapt and be agile. We want you to challenge the status quo, innovate and be open to trying new things. We're always pushing boundaries. We empower our people, giving them freedom and autonomy to learn and grow in their roles. We're passionate, agile, creative and one team.
