  • Update category actuals, including wastage, each Monday and ensure the WSSI reflects accurate trading information
  • Manage intake values and ensure orders align with the Open‑to‑Buy (OTB) within the WSSI plan
  • Identify risks and opportunities within the WSSI and recommend changes to forward plans in response to trading conditions
  • Set up and review replenishment settings to ensure stock levels support sales and presentation standards

  • Place allocations for confirmed promotions and update actual performance once activity is completed
  • Review and summarise promotional performance with Buyers after each promotional period
  • Maintain hibernation dates in C&F for products not currently available
  • Produce supplier fulfilment reports and highlight issues or risks
  • Build and maintain Joint Business Plans with key suppliers, including forecasts, promotions, and stock builds, reviewing monthly
  • Analyse sales, profit, and stock forecasts to identify insights and emerging trends, providing clear commercial recommendations
  • Run availability and long‑stock reports, creating action plans to resolve issues and minimise margin impact
  • Create, update, and monitor launch trackers and seasonal sell‑through trackers to support stock exit planning
  • Provide timely and accurate support to centres regarding stock queries, availability issues, and replenishment settings
  • Undertake any other reasonable duties required to support the merchandising function

Requirements:

  • Strong analytical and numerical skills with the ability to interpret data and identify trends
  • High level of accuracy and attention to detail
  • Confident using Excel and data‑driven systems
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast‑paced environment
  • Clear communication skills and the ability to present insights in a concise, commercial manner

  • Understanding of WSSI, OTB, forecasting, or replenishment systems
  • Experience working with suppliers or supporting commercial negotiations
  • Experience within a multi‑site or retail‑based organisation
