Clothing Trade Planner

What You’ll Do

Our Clothing business is gearing up for an exciting year, and we’re looking for someone who thrives at the centre of fast‑paced commercial decision‑making. As a Clothing Trade Planner, you’ll bring together insights, teams and plans to ensure we deliver brilliant customer experiences across our stores and online. You’ll play a key role in shaping how we plan and execute trading activity, working with partners across Commercial, Retail, Marketing, Digital and Supply Chain to create clarity, spot opportunities and strengthen how we show up for customers.

• Coordinate and visualise our customer plan, champion best practice across the trade planning community, and drive continuous improvement in how we plan, execute and review trading activity.
• Collaborate across a broad network of partners – from Commercial and Digital to Retail, Marketing, Supply Chain and Finance – ensuring opportunities, risks and dependencies are understood and acted upon.
• Represent in forums across the business, ensuring our plans are optimised and executed seamlessly, and that insight and learnings feed into future cycles.
• A self‑starter who is comfortable working independently across multiple work streams.
• Split your time between home and Ansty SSC (Coventry), coming into the office when it matters most for collaboration and business needs.

You’re a naturally curious and collaborative person who thrives in environments where no two days are the same. You’re confident influencing stakeholders at all levels and can simplify complexity into meaningful, actionable insight.

You enjoy working cross‑functionally, bringing teams together to create aligned outcomes, and you’re comfortable balancing both the macro view and the detail needed to deliver great customer and commercial results.

Ideally you have experience in trade planning or strong experience across multiple retail functions – commercial, retail operations, marketing, supply chain or digital – and you’re energised by shaping and improving processes that help teams work smarter.

You are highly capable in Excel and able to turn data into compelling stories that drive decision‑making.

We also recognise and celebrate colleagues who go the extra mile, and where possible offer flexible working.
