Ultimately, you’re not just looking to start or continue your career in retail—you’re looking to master the numbers behind the product. You want to be part of a team where strategy meets reality, and every decision is backed by data. At Robert Dyas, we are modern, analytical retailers. We search for the latest products, but we succeed because we know how to manage those products profitably. We don’t just buy; we plan, analyse, and optimise. Modern homes and gardens are demanding, and our challenge is ensuring we have the right inventory, in the right place, at the right time.
As a Trade Admin Assistant, you are the backbone of our trading teams. You will help drive the commercial success of your category by supporting the Merchandiser in managing the financial performance of our stock from initial planning through to the customer.
Your Impact:
- OTB & Inventory Management: Monitoring stock flow and managing 'Open to Buy' to ensure we are reactive to trading conditions while maximizing ROI.
- Financial Analysis: Tracking performance against KPIs, analysing sales data to identify trends, and ensuring our stock levels hit our availability targets.
- Profit Maximisation: Proposing mark-down activities and range plans that optimise space and cash margin.
- Strategic Support: You won’t just be crunching numbers; you’ll be providing the insights that shape our future ranges.
What We’re Looking For:
- You don’t need retail experience, but you do need a sharp mind and a passion for patterns.
- Highly Numerate: You are comfortable working with complex data and spreadsheets—you see a story in the numbers.
- Driven by Accuracy: You have high attention to detail and a desire to get to the 'why' behind the figures.
- Commercial Mindset: You understand that retail is about more than products; it's about the financial mechanics that make the business grow.
You’ll thrive in an environment where decisions happen quickly and where your analysis directly impacts the bottom line. If you are ready to turn your numeracy skills into a commercial career, we want to hear from you.
