1ABOUT THE BRAND

Our client is a much-loved Australian fashion retailer with a national store network and a fast-growing online business. Known for trend-led womenswear and a fiercely loyal customer, the brand is investing in its planning team as it scales — and this is a genuine growth hire, not a backfill.

  • Partner with Buyers on range architecture, depth and phasing
  • Run in-season reforecasts, markdown and clearance strategy
  • Present trade insights at the weekly trade meeting

3ABOUT YOU

  • 3+ years in merchandise planning or senior allocation within fashion retail
  • Advanced Excel and experience with a planning system (Oracle RPAS, Mi9 or similar)
  • Commercially sharp, with a genuine love of product
  • Calm under pressure and a natural collaborator
