Are you a commercially minded Merchandise Planner who loves product, numbers and using data to influence smarter retail decisions?
I’m partnering exclusively with an established national specialty retailer to recruit an experienced Merchandise Planner into their Adelaide support office.

This is a fantastic opportunity to step into a highly visible role working closely with senior leaders across Merchandise and Marketing, providing the planning, analysis and commercial insights that help shape product, inventory and promotional decisions across a national store network.

The Role This is a broad commercial planning position with exposure across merchandise, inventory, reporting and promotional performance.
You’ll be responsible for:

• Merchandise, range and open-to-buy planning
• Analysing sales, margin, stock and sell-through performance
• Monitoring inventory and identifying opportunities to optimise stock levels
• Forecasting demand and identifying trends, risks and commercial opportunities
• Supporting seasonal range reviews and post-season analysis
• Reviewing promotional performance and providing actionable insights
• Supporting pricing, markdown and clearance strategies
• Producing weekly, monthly and ad hoc commercial reporting
• Maintaining and enhancing planning tools, dashboards and spreadsheets
• Partnering with Merchandise and Marketing teams to support commercial decision-making
• Identifying opportunities to improve planning, reporting and analytical processes

About You You’ll ideally bring previous experience within merchandise planning, retail planning, inventory planning or commercial retail analytics.
You’ll also have:

• Strong experience working with sales, stock, margin and inventory data
• Advanced Excel capability
• Strong analytical and numerical skills
• A commercial mindset and genuine understanding of retail
• The ability to identify trends and turn data into meaningful insights
• Excellent attention to detail
• Confidence communicating with key stakeholders
• The ability to manage multiple priorities within a fast-paced retail environment

Experience with Power BI, Tableau, Pronto or similar merchandise/ERP systems would be highly regarded.
Experience within fashion, accessories, jewellery, lifestyle or specialty retail would also translate particularly well.

Why This Opportunity? This is more than a reporting role.
You’ll have the opportunity to influence key commercial decisions across product, inventory, ranging and promotional performance, while working closely with an experienced leadership team within an established national retailer.

For someone who enjoys the analytical side of retail but still wants to be connected to product and the commercial strategy behind it, this could be an exciting next move.
