We're looking for a detail-focused Junior Buying & Merchandising Assistant to join our commercial team at our Market Harborough HQ. You'll support the buying team with day-to-day tasks like raising purchase orders, keeping stock levels up to date across our channels, and pulling together data to help inform our range decisions. It's a brilliant way to get hands-on experience in buying and merchandising, learning the ropes from a friendly, experienced team. If you're organised, good with numbers, and keen to build a career in retail buying, we'd love to hear from you.

Key Responsibilities

Helping monitor stock levels across retail stores, online, and wholesale channels, flagging any issues to the team
Supporting weekly and monthly reporting to keep stakeholders informed
Conducting comp shopping research to track market trends and competitor activity
Assisting with the development and maintenance of our rolling range plan, helping us stock the right products at the right time
Ad hoc data analysis and reporting as the team needs it

What We're Looking For

Some experience or a keen interest in buying, merchandising, or a similar data-focused role (this could be through a previous job, placement, or study)
Comfortable with Excel and/or Google Sheets, and happy to build on your spreadsheet and formula skills
Great attention to detail; you naturally double-check your work
Confident working with numbers, with an eagerness to learn how to spot patterns and flag anomalies
Reliable, self-motivated, and proactive, you don't wait to be asked twice
Genuine interest in retail and e-commerce; you notice trends and products around you
A positive attitude and willingness to learn (the buying world moves fast!)
Good communicator, comfortable liaising with suppliers and internal teams

Hours & Flexibility

Full time, 40 hours per week, Monday to Friday
Occasional ad hoc support during peak trading periods

What We Offer

Genuine opportunity to build a career in buying and merchandising
Experience across retail, wholesale, and e-commerce channels
Friendly, fast-paced working environment where your contributions count
