**About the role**
***
We’re looking for a Merchandiser to join our Merchandising team here at The Works You’ll sit within our Supply Chain function and play a key part in a new team structure.

**Overview of Merchandising**

Not to be confused with Visual Merchandising, we are the backbone and engine room of Merchandising - spotting trends, diving into the analytics and data to ensure the right stock is in the right place at the right time. Working cross-functionally with our retail stores, web, buying, finance and distribution teams, here you will get a well-rounded experience and insight into all departments to get amazing exposure across the business.

You’ll be working across all the strategic elements, right through to getting the product on the floor and onto our e-commerce channel. It’s not just products or numbers though, it about the products and how they inspire our customers to read, learn, create or play

You can put your stamp on the department with the freedom to succeed and the freedom to fail - so long as we learn and develop along the way. Everything is up for grabs to help develop a new function in the size of this opportunity. With the proper structure, loads of development, career progression ladders and autonomy in the roleyou genuinely can make a difference

**Key responsibilities
- Oversee timely delivery of stock into the warehouse, to maximise availability in line with agreed KPI's and timelines for all channels.
- Ensure on-time delivery through supporting the achievement of merchandising milestones within the critical path, ensuring any issues are resolved or raised where appropriate, and negotiating confidently with suppliers accordingly.

- Accountable for order management in line with agreed parameters and critical path.
- Own and manage category/range & SKU level forecasts to ensure sales, stock holding, margin and availability is optimised.
- Able to maintain and update the WSSI and line card management and will have had exposure to OTB and budget management
- Plan and present product ranges alongside Buyer (with support of Senior merchandiser), with considerations of budget, space, ranking, buy quantities and intake phasing.
- Review attribute analysis to support range reviews and promotional analysis providing clear recommendations.
- Review weekly trading performance to identify issues and opportunities, providing clear actions to maximise profitability.
- Deliver the sales in line with budget and agreed strategy.
