Merch Admin Assistant - Up to £25k
Full or Part Time | Flexible working
Essex
If you're a fashion-loving, super-organised Merch Admin Assistant who gets a weird amount of satisfaction from spreadsheets, product data and making sure every little detail is exactly where it should be… this could be the one for you.
We're working with a fast-growing, female-founded fashion brand that has gone from East London beginnings to becoming a genuinely global name. They're all about feel-good fashion, individuality and creating clothes that make people feel amazing - and now they're looking for a Merch Admin Assistant to join their close-knit head office team.
The role
Reporting into the Head of Merchandising, you'll be right at the heart of the merchandising operation, helping make sure products move smoothly from creation through to order placement.
You'll be working across SKUs, barcodes, product setup, sizing ratios, purchase orders and line details, so this is a role where being organised, accurate and switched-on really matters.
You don't need to know everything already - what's important is that you're confident with data, comfortable on Excel and keen to learn. If you've had experience with purchase orders or order management, even better.
What you'll be doing
Creating and allocating SKUs and barcodes for new styles
Setting products up accurately across internal systems and Shopify
Working with sizing ratios and making sure orders have the correct breakdowns
Raising purchase orders across own-buy and wholesale channels
Checking quantities, destinations and product information are all correct
Communicating orders and updates with suppliers and internal teams
Keeping seasonal line details and PO information accurate and up to date
Spotting discrepancies before they become problems - attention to detail is BIG here
Supporting the wider merchandising team wherever neededWhat we're looking for
We're after someone who is:
Highly organised and naturally detail-focused
Comfortable working with Excel, spreadsheets and numbers
Confident handling product data and large amounts of information
A strong administrator who likes keeping things accurate and under control
A good communicator who isn't afraid to chase information when needed
Quick to pick up new systems and processes
Commercially aware and interested in how fashion businesses work
Ideally experienced in purchase orders, order management or a similar admin role - but training will be providedThis could be a brilliant opportunity for someone early in their merchandising career who wants to get closer to the product and learn how a fast-paced fashion business really works.
The good stuff
You'll be joining a small, collaborative head office team where you'll get genuine exposure to different parts of the business and the chance to develop your merchandising career.
The role is up to £25k DOE, and the business is open to full-time or part-time hours, with flexibility around the working pattern for the right person.
The current office pattern is:
3 days Loughton
1 day East London - optional
Friday WFH
Full-time hours are currently 9.30am-5pm
And there's a pretty great benefits package too:
30 days holiday including bank holidays, increasing with length of service
Your birthday off
Health insurance after 6 months
Medicash scheme
Work laptop and phone
Pension scheme
Discretionary bonus
Office parking permit available
40% staff discount
Friday working from home
Food, drinks and refreshments in the officeWhy join?
This isn't a huge corporate machine where you'll be one tiny cog in the wheel. It's a growing fashion brand where you can make an impact, learn quickly and see the results of what you do.
If you're organised, fashion-focused and ready to get stuck in, we'd love to hear from you.
