At Neptune, every product we create tells a story - of craftsmanship, purpose, and the quiet beauty of considered design. Behind every collection is a team of people making sure everything comes together just as it should. As a Junior Merchandiser, you'll play a central role in bringing together commercial insight, considered planning and great teamwork to help shape the future of our business.

Working closely with our Buying team, you'll take ownership of departmental trading and planning, managing WSSI and OTB to maximise sales, margin and profitability. You'll look ahead to future seasons, forecasting sales and stock, setting budgets and identifying opportunities to ensure we have the right products in the right places at the right time. Through thoughtful analysis and a strong understanding of our customer, you'll help shape our ranges and support the business's planned growth.

In the world of merchandising at Neptune, you'll help deliver our commercial ambitions by:

• Owning and managing departmental WSSI and OTB, setting and reviewing seasonal budgets and forecasts.
• Analysing trading performance, identifying risks and opportunities and recommending actions to maximise profitability.
• Working closely with Buying and Design on future ranges, option plans and buying strategies.
• Determining buy quantities and overseeing stock allocations across our stores and online.
• Managing stock levels, markdowns, margins and intake in line with business targets.
• Working collaboratively with Logistics to ensure deliveries support current and future trading patterns.
• Developing departmental reporting and identifying opportunities to improve processes and efficiencies.
• Leading, motivating and developing members of the merchandising team, supporting their growth and performance.

This role is suitable for someone who is currently in a Junior Merchandiser role with a strong understanding of retail merchandising and the confidence to take ownership of a department, lead others and drive commercial performance. With strong commercial awareness and a data-driven approach, you'll be confident managing WSSI and OTB, interpreting trading performance and turning numbers into clear, actionable plans. Experience in homeware or lifestyle retail would be beneficial.

You'll be highly organised, analytical and confident with advanced Excel, with the ability to communicate complex information clearly and influence decisions across the business. Equally, you'll be adaptable, proactive and always looking for better ways of working. With energy, enthusiasm and a positive, can-do attitude, you'll enjoy bringing people together, developing your team and making a meaningful difference to business performance.
