Location: Manchester City Centre
Salary: Competitive + benefits
Reporting to: Head of Merchandising
About the Role:
We're partnering with a rapidly growing sportswear and streetwear brand group to find a talented Merchandiser to join their team, based from their brilliant offices in Manchester city centre.
This is a business with real momentum - a growing portfolio of brands, strong performance, and a trading model built across both wholesale and online D2C. It's an exciting time to join: the group is scaling fast, and this role comes with genuine freedom and responsibility to shape how merchandising operates as the business grows.
That said, this isn't a role for someone who wants to coast on brand name alone. We're looking for someone who's just as comfortable rolling up their sleeves and getting the fundamentals right - solid processes, accurate reporting, disciplined stock management - as they are bringing fresh ideas to the table. The right person will thrive on having ownership, while also recognising that strong foundations are what make that freedom sustainable.
The Role:
As Merchandiser, you'll manage the trading performance and stock strategy for your category/categories across both wholesale and D2C channels, working closely with the Head of Merchandising, Buying and Sales teams. Key responsibilities will include:
Owning intake, stock flow and availability across wholesale and online channels, ensuring the fundamentals - accurate plans, clean data, timely reporting - are consistently in place
Building and maintaining sales, stock and intake plans, adapting for the different rhythms of wholesale and D2C trading
Analysing weekly and seasonal trade across channels, identifying opportunities and risks and recommending clear action
Partnering with Buying on range planning and OTB, bringing a channel-balanced view to decision-making
Managing markdown and promotional planning to protect margin while maximising sell-through
Working closely with Sales/Wholesale teams to align stock commitments with wholesale order books
Building strong relationships with suppliers and internal stakeholders to keep product flowing smoothly end-to-end
About You:
Proven experience as a Merchandiser, ideally with exposure to both wholesale and D2C/online channels
Experience within sportswear, streetwear, fashion or a comparable fast-moving category is a strong plus
Strong analytical skills, with the discipline to get the fundamentals right as well as the initiative to improve them
Comfortable working autonomously - this role comes with real freedom, and with that, real accountability
A proactive, hands-on approach, thriving in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment
Confident communicator, able to build relationships across buying, sales and the wider business
Strong Excel skills
What's On Offer:
The opportunity to join a fast-growing, multi-brand group with real momentum behind it
Genuine freedom and ownership over how you shape your area
Brilliant offices in Manchester city centre
The chance to be part of a growing portfolio with strong performance across wholesale and D2C
