To support our growth, we are on the hunt for a dynamic Junior Merchandiser to complement our existing team. The pace is fast, fun and collaborative, so you’ll need to bring a solid commercial awareness and a methodical approach in managing correct stock levels, whist being able to think on your feet. You will be responsible for the trading and planning of our seasons & managing required stock levels and curate premium and profitable product ranges in line with Neptune brand values. You’ll also contribute to the ongoing development of the merchandising team, inspiring them to achieve their best and leading them to success.
