Senior Merchandiser – Grocery & Satellite

The legendary Fortnum’s experience does not happen by accident; it takes individual talent, expert knowledge, attention to detail, unstoppable energy and most importantly – real team work.

Our recently reformed Merchandising team continuously uses these principles to ensure that Fortnum & Mason is still the most luxurious department store in the world.

Our Merchandising team ensures each department is successful in driving sales and profitability whilst taking into account strategic planning, budget and stock availability.

Our Grocery Merchandising team work with seasonal, high value products with a lot of financial impact to the business.

We pride ourselves on offering our customers everything your taste buds could ever desire

We are looking for an experienced Senior Merchandiser to lead this team as well as our satellite stores at Heathrow and St Pancras. 

Reporting to Head of Merchandising, you will be responsible for all aspects of inventory management and supply chain activity to ensure excellent availability within the Open To Buy constraints.

You will be influential in the strategic direction, department strategy and ranging architecture, as well as ensure that all sales forecasts are accurate and propose and drive commercial actions for any failed deliveries and slow selling lines.

With regards to our satellite stores, you will be responsible for the management of the inventory and stock allocation as well as the critical path so experience in international merchandising strategy would be advantage.

You will be working very closely with our Buying teams and external suppliers so strong influencing and negotiations skills will be necessary in this role.

In addition, you will be working with all areas of the business including Warehouse, Retail and Online departments.

To be successful in this role, you will already possess strong analytical skills, be confident in driving change and demonstrate successful forward planning, particularly for products with short life spans, as well as be an excellent communicator with all stakeholders.

In addition, you will be managing two Merchandisers so you must be able to demonstrate excellent leadership and coaching skills.

You will already be working at a similar Senior Merchandiser level, with an existing food merchandising background across various channels who is ready for a new challenge.

If you are the expert planner with strong strategic skills that we are looking for, apply online now.
