• Producing and analysing reports on availability, stock performance, and potential lost sales opportunities


• Managing aged and slow-moving stock, identifying risks and working with clients to reduce exposure


• Providing insight through performance reporting (e.g. best/worst sellers, operational metrics, stock efficiency)


• Building and managing strong client relationships, acting as a key point of contact for merchandising activity


• Collaborating with internal teams (warehouse, operations, account teams) to ensure smooth execution of stock processes


• Supporting and guiding Assistant Merchandisers, helping to prioritise workload and support development

Requirements:
