Assistant Merchandise Planner (Apparel

We are seeking an Assistant Merchandise Planner to support merchandise planning through forecasting, performance analysis, and stock optimisation. Working closely with planning and production teams, this role plays a key part in ensuring product availability across channels while delivering clear, data-led insights that inform commercial decisions. This is an ideal opportunity for a detail-oriented planner looking to grow within a fast-paced, purpose-led apparel and eCommerce environment.

Stock, Forecasting & Trade Performance

Manage and update Never Out of Stock (NOOS) products, continually refining forecasts and stock flows based on trade performance and evolving business priorities.

Monitor stock availability across all regions and channels, preparing and communicating weekly out-of-stock reports that highlight risks and recommend actions to prevent under- or over-stocking issues.

Communicate daily trade performance to the Merchandise Planner and key stakeholders, capturing sales against plan, key drivers, and emerging trends.

Planning, Analysis & Reporting

• Support seasonal planning by preparing historical analysis and data required for range reviews.
• Track and analyse the performance of new product launches, reviewing early indicators, velocity, channel performance, and regional patterns.
• Perform size curve analysis to ensure size forecasts are accurate and to guide sizing decisions for new product launches.
• Maintain SKU-level reports and dashboards to support trade decisions, forecasting, and stock management.
• Complete ad hoc analysis requested by the Merchandise Planner or key stakeholders, presenting findings clearly and proactively.

Collaboration & Systems Accuracy

• Collaborate closely with the production team to adjust purchase orders based on forecasting insights and guidance from the Merchandise Planner.
• Ensure system accuracy by maintaining correct SKU data, hierarchy, costing, and category structures across planning tools and other internal systems.

Requirements

• BS in Business Administration, Supply Chain, or Logistics Management.
• Minimum 3 years of experience in merchandise planning, ideally in an FMCG or retail/eCommerce environment.
• Exposure to forecasting and inventory management.
• Experience with range planning, OTB support, or NOOS management is advantageous but not essential.
• Advanced Excel skills, with the ability to work confidently with large datasets, build complex reports, and maintain dashboards.
• Strong numeracy and analytical capability, with the ability to translate data into clear insights and recommendations.
• Highly organised and adaptable, with strong attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple tasks in a fast-paced environment.
• Confident communicator who can present data clearly and work cross-functionally.
• Comfortable working with high SKU counts and high-volume data.
