Merchandise Admin Assistant in Loughton

If you're a fashion-loving, super-organised Merch Admin Assistant who gets a weird amount of satisfaction from spreadsheets, product data and making sure every little detail is exactly where it should be, this could be the one for you.

We're working with a fast-growing, female-founded fashion brand that has gone from East London beginnings to becoming a genuinely global name. They're all about feel-good fashion, individuality and creating clothes that make people feel amazing - and now they're looking for a Merch Admin Assistant to join their close-knit head office team.

The role

Reporting into the Head of Merchandising, you'll be right at the heart of the merchandising operation, helping make sure products move smoothly from creation through to order placement. You'll be working across SKUs, barcodes, product setup, sizing ratios, purchase orders and line details, so this is a role where being organised, accurate and switched-on really matters. You don't need to know everything already - what's important is that you're confident with data, comfortable on Excel and keen to learn. If you've had experience with purchase orders or order management, even better.

What you'll be doing

• Creating and allocating SKUs and barcodes for new styles
• Setting products up accurately across internal systems and Shopify
• Working with sizing ratios and making sure orders have the correct breakdowns
• Raising purchase orders across own-buy and wholesale channels
• Checking quantities, destinations and product information are all correct
• Communicating orders and updates with suppliers and internal teams
• Keeping seasonal line details and PO information accurate and up to date
• Spotting discrepancies before they become problems - attention to detail is BIG here
• Supporting the wider merchandising team wherever needed

What we're looking for

• Highly organised and naturally detail-focused
• Comfortable working with Excel, spreadsheets and numbers
• Confident handling product data and large amounts of information
• A strong administrator who likes keeping things accurate and under control
• A good communicator who isn't afraid to chase information when needed
• Quick to pick up new systems and processes
• Commercially aware and interested in how fashion businesses work
• Ideally experienced in purchase orders, order management or a similar admin role - but training will be provided

This could be a brilliant opportunity for someone early in their merchandising career who wants to get closer to the product and learn how a fast-paced fashion business really works.

The good stuff

You'll be joining a small, collaborative head office team where you'll get genuine exposure to different parts of the business and the chance to develop your merchandising career. The role is up to £25k DOE, and the business is open to full-time or part-time hours, with flexibility around the working pattern for the right person.

The current office pattern is:

• 3 days Loughton
• 1 day East London - optional
• Friday WFH

Full-time hours are currently 9.30am-5pm. And there's a pretty great benefits package too:

• 30 days holiday including bank holidays, increasing with length of service
• Your birthday off
• Health insurance after 6 months
• Medicash scheme
• Work laptop and phone
• Pension scheme
• Discretionary bonus
• Office parking permit available
• 40% staff discount
• Friday working from home
• Food, drinks and refreshments in the office

Why join?

This isn't a huge corporate machine where you'll be one tiny cog in the wheel. It's a growing fashion brand where you can make an impact, learn quickly and see the results of what you do. If you're organised, fashion-focused and ready to get stuck in, we'd love to hear from you.
