End-to-End Supply Chain Management: Work closely with the Product Manager, factories, and warehouses to manage the critical path, schedule combined shipments, and raise and track purchase orders. Vendor & System Ownership: Maintain daily communication with global suppliers to resolve delivery issues, whilst owning the product setup process and ensuring absolute data accuracy across all platforms. Strategic Collaboration: Partner with the SLT to drive range development, plan seasonal launches, identify margin optimisation opportunities, and refine budgeting and long-term stock planning. Required Skills & Experience Expertise in WSSI & Forecasting: Proven experience in a merchandising, supply planning, or demand planning role where you have actively managed stock, cover, intake, and sales forecasting. Advanced Microsoft Excel Skills: Must be highly proficient in Excel, with the ability to build and manipulate forecasting tools using V/XLookups, SUM/COUNTIFS, and Index Match formulas. Commercial Drive & Adaptability: A self-starter attitude with the confidence to juggle operational admin (PO management and system setups) with big-picture strategic planning. Excellent Communication: Strong relationship-building skills to collaborate cross-functionally and manage daily negotiations with factories and suppliers. Right to Work: Candidates must possess full, unrestricted right to work in the UK; visa sponsorship is not available for this position. Nice-to-Have Prior experience working within the fashion, footwear, or accessories sectors. Experience managing multi-channel stock allocations across B2B, DTC, and Amazon marketplaces. Exposure to fast-growing, entrepreneurial business environments where you have built processes from scratch.
