Merchandiser

A merchandiser plays a key role in ensuring that products are available in the right place, at the right time, and in the right quantities. In the UK, merchandisers typically work for retail companies, supermarkets, or wholesalers, and are responsible for planning and developing product ranges, managing stock levels, and analysing sales data to make decisions about future stock. They often work closely with buyers, store managers, and suppliers to ensure shelves are stocked with products that customers want to buy. Visual merchandising is also an important part of the job, involving the presentation and display of products to attract customers and maximise sales. Attention to detail, analytical skills, and strong communication are crucial for success in this role.
