Merchandising Planner- Fashion

Merchandise Planner – Fashion Retail

London

We're looking for someone who thrives on using insight to drive product strategy, optimize inventory, and maximize sales potential — across channels, locations, and seasons.

In this role, you won’t just be crunching numbers — you’ll be a key player in steering the business forward. From building robust OTB plans to shaping the seasonal strategy, your decisions will influence what our customers see and buy, in-store and online.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Own the end-to-end merchandise planning process across all channels: from forecasting and trading to hindsight analysis.

• Create and manage accurate Open-to-Buy (OTB) forecasts and store-level sales budgets, using trend analysis and historical performance.

• Develop strategic seasonal option plans and work closely with buying teams to inform and align buying decisions.

• Partner with senior stakeholders — including the Brand Director and CEO — to shape and present topline seasonal strategies.

• Drive performance through stock rebalancing, reorders, and markdown strategies, helping to boost bestsellers and minimize risk.

• Deliver weekly trade reports, insightful commentary, and in-depth hindsight analysis to shape future buying and planning decisions.

• Lead sizing strategies that reflect customer demand, regional needs, and shifting trends.

• Collaborate with the Allocation team to ensure the right product is in the right place, at the right time.

What You’ll Bring

• 3+ years of experience in fashion merchandising or merchandise planning.

• A strategic mindset with strong analytical and Excel skills (large data sets and BI tools are second nature to you).

• A natural ability to influence and collaborate across teams — from Allocators to Executives.

• Strong commercial awareness and a deep understanding of how to translate numbers into action.

• Confidence in communicating and challenging ideas in a constructive and respectful way.

• An entrepreneurial, solution-focused approach — you see opportunities where others see problems.

• You take pride in mentoring junior team members and leading by example.

• Resilient, positive, and fun — you bring energy to the team and keep things moving, even when things get tough.

Why Join Us?You’ll have real ownership, visibility, and the chance to make your mark in a company that appreciates both analytics and innovation. If you love fashion, thrive on numbers, and want to be part of a dynamic and collaborative team — we’d love to hear from you.
