The Role:

It's an exciting and varied job and a real opportunity to start a career in Merchandising.

You'll support the Junior Merchandiser and Category Merchandiser, analysing trading data, trends and departmental performance and you'll play a key role in making sure we have the right stock in the right place at the right times.

Responsible for multi-channel stock management you'll manage a large portfolio of products sourced from circa 200 suppliers worldwide, across all our channels - our retail stores, , Amazon, Next and our international franchise partners.

You'll work with colleagues across Lakeland and play your part in delivering our sales, margin and stock targets.

About You:

You'll be comfortable with IT and have good excel skills, with good numerical and analytical skills and a great attention to detail that will help you mange stock and identify trends.

Educated to A-level standard (or equivalent qualification or professional experience) this role would be perfect for someone who has studied maths, business or economics and looking for an opportunity to begin their career in business.

Able to think on your feet and manage your own workload and meet deadlines, you'll enjoy working in a fact paced environment where there is always lots going on.

You'll be happy working independently whilst also enjoying being part of a team, sharing information, knowledge & experience freely and building and maintaining positive relationships.

Your communication is key - you'll be clear and you'll make sure your message is understood. You'll also know when to escalate issues, always focused on achieving the best outcomes for our customers.

About Lakeland:

From humble beginnings as a tight-knit family operation, we've grown into a prestigious kitchenware retailer with 63 stores nationally, from Aberdeen to Truro.

We've done that by always staying ahead of the pack and looking at things in our own way. When the home freezing boom happened in the 70s, we anticipated a kitchenware revolution.

Now, we're investing millions to ensure that our online offering is top notch, and that our retail stores can offer an experience worthy of a visit.

That innovative spirit coupled with our intense customer focus has been the story of our success - work with us and it could be yours too.

Benefits:

There are many benefits to being part of the Lakeland team.

Other than being part of a huge and happy working family, our colleagues are rewarded with a competitive salary, discretionary bonus scheme and a group personal pension plan.

There are 29 days' paid holiday (including bank holidays) and generous discounts on our products. We offer a great retail environment, and the chance to be part of a team who like to work and socialise together
