As part of our Global Merchandise Planning (GMP) team, you’ll sit at the heart of ASOS’s commercial engine. GMP partners closely with Buying and Merch teams to define our assortment strategy and set purchase targets across divisions, ensuring we hold the right stock, in the right place, for our global customers.
