Merchandiser jobs
As a Merchandiser you will typically take ownership of a product range, assisted by the Senior Merchandiser or Merchandising Manager, defining the number of products to be ranged to each store and their depth of stock.
With strong commercial awareness, a Merchandiser will ensure the individual product plans meet the KPI targets for sales and will review weekly trading against these targets.
Merchandisers will be able to confidently identify best and worst sellers and adapt the strategy accordingly to minimise risk and maximise opportunity.
With the ability to forecast accurately, Merchandisers are responsible for implementing promotional plans in order to achieve sales KPIs as well as manage exit plans to clear discontinued stock from stores.
Ensuring stock availability in stores is critical, supported by the ability to deliver a commercially viable range replenishment plan.
The skills required
As Merchandiser you may have experience of working within international wholesale and franchise models, with knowledge of buying and merchandising principles and processes. An understanding of global markets is desirable as well as the ability to translate customer insight into working practice.
As a skilled communicator you will be a confident negotiator and well versed in relationship building.
Commercial acumen is mandatory as a Merchandiser as well as the ability to think strategically.
In a fast-moving market, resilience is a valued quality as well as being an agile thinker and problem solver.
Merchandiser Jobs in Pembrokeshire
Pembrokeshire covers the south west of Wales, and contains its westernmost settlement, St David’s. It borders Ceredigion in the north east and Carmarthenshire to the east. Its north, south and west edges are all sea-facing. Large areas of the county’s coastal region are part of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. The administrative headquarters is at Haverfordwest, an inland town of around 15,000 population, and Pembrokeshire’s largest.
Pembrokeshire is a county of contrast. There is plenty of natural beauty and the tourist resorts of Tenby and Saundersfoot are in the county. However it is also home to Milford Haven and Pembroke Dock shipping ports and oil terminals. As far as Merchandiser jobs are concerned, this blend of tourism and industry is potentially good news, and we regularly fill such vacancies here.
