Merchandiser, Retail

Merchandiser

Non-Fashion Retailer | South West London | Category Ownership | £50k - £55k | 26 Days Holiday + BH | Bonus Potential Flexible/Hybrid Working

A rare chance to run your category in a business that trusts its people.

This is an opportunity to join a long‑established, highly respected non‑fashion retailer based in South West London. While the business has a strong heritage, the mindset is refreshingly modern – little red tape, fast decision‑making and genuine ownership.

As Merchandiser you will have end‑to‑end ownership of your category, from planning through to trading. This hands‑on role will allow your insight, judgement and commercial thinking to genuinely influence results.

• Owning the merchandise plan, forecasts and budgets for your category
• Driving sales, margin and stock productivity through effective trading
• Managing range planning, intake and stock levels
• Analysing performance and using insight to inform decisions
• Working hand‑in‑hand with the Buyer to shape ranges and trading strategies
• Responding quickly to opportunities and risks in a fast‑moving environment

There is very little bureaucracy – if you see an opportunity, you’ll be encouraged to act on it.

This role will suit a commercially minded merchandiser who enjoys responsibility and autonomy.

• Experience in a merchandising role within retail (non‑fashion experience advantageous but not essential)
• Strong analytical and planning capability
• A confident, pragmatic approach to trading decisions
• An entrepreneurial mindset and comfort working with minimal red tape
• A collaborative style and strong partnership with Buying

You’ll thrive in an environment where you’re trusted to run your category and where ideas are welcomed.

• Long‑established retailer with a strong and loyal customer base
• True category ownership and influence
• Entrepreneurial, low‑bureaucracy culture
• Collaborative buying & merchandising partnership
• South West London location

This is a brilliant opportunity for a merchandiser looking to step into a role with real responsibility and impact.
