As Merchandising Manager at Club L London, you’ll play a pivotal role in driving the commercial performance of one of the UK’s fastest-growing global fashion brands. Reporting directly to the Head of Merchandising, you’ll lead the merchandising function across multiple product categories, owning trading performance, inventory strategy, forecasting and planning whilst helping shape the future direction of our product proposition. This is far more than a traditional merchandising role. You’ll combine strategic thinking with hands-on trading, working across Buying, Design, Marketing, Ecommerce, Supply Chain, Finance and Data to maximise global performance whilst continually improving how we trade, plan and operate. You’ll also act as deputy to the Head of Merchandising, helping lead the department and supporting the ongoing development of our people, processes and systems.
