Love fashion? Love numbers? Here’s your chance to combine both.
We’re looking for a Senior Merchandise Planner who can bring commercial sharpness and creative flair to one of Australia’s most recognised apparel retailers.
You’ll play a pivotal role in driving sales, profit and inventory performance across our women’s apparel category — partnering closely with buying, design and allocation teams to deliver collections customers love.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Build merchandise financial plans and forecasts that drive growth and profitability.
- Shape the strategy for the category — right mix, price architecture and option count.
- Partner with Buyers to deliver commercially balanced ranges that excite customers.
- Manage OTB, inventory and markdowns to optimise stock flow and sell-through.
- Analyse performance and quickly respond to trading conditions and market trends.
- Coach and develop Planners and Allocators to ensure team capability and growth.
What We’re Looking For
- A seasoned Merchandise Planner with 3+ years’ experience managing a large, complex category.
- A strong understanding of Ladieswear Apparel — trend, product lifecycle, and seasonal buying patterns.
- Commercially astute with a deep grasp of OTB management and financial levers.
- Confident communicator who thrives in a quick-paced, collaborative retail environment.
- Someone who loves to problem-solve, simplify and make an impact.
Why You’ll Love It Here
- Hybrid working – enjoy the flexibility of some weeks being fully remote.
- A culture that empowers creativity and autonomy within a high-performing team.
- Exposure to a large, national retail network with a supportive, collaborative culture.
If you’re ready to take ownership of a key category and influence major business decisions, we’d love to hear from you.
