Avoiding Markdown: Strategies for Success
As a Junior Merchandiser at Austin Fraser, you will be responsible for developing and implementing strategies for your categories department, with a focus on avoiding markdown. This includes creating category-level product mix using historical data, ensuring that the WSSI is up-to-date, and managing stock seasonality.
One of the key responsibilities of this role is to work closely with the Senior Merchandiser to ensure that KPIs are met and that the company's goals are aligned with the merchandising strategy. This involves attending key selection meetings with the merchandiser and head of product, as well as reviewing weekly trading performance and identifying areas for improvement.
Additional responsibilities include forecasting lines and sub-category groups for your department, managing OTB, and ensuring on-time delivery, rebuys cancellations, markdown proposals, and range plan management.
This role requires strong communication and collaboration skills, as you will be working closely with suppliers and other teams within the company. The salary for this position is estimated to be around £32,500 per annum.
