Merlin Entertainment
A job with Merlin isn’t like a job anywhere else. With attractions around the world, from rollercoasters to wax figures, we don’t trade in suits, handshakes or briefcases. We trade in fun. In smiles, shrieks and spine-tingles. In Memories. In magic. But there are no tricks behind our magic. Instead, there are people like you. Passionate, dedicated people who are committed to making sure our worldwide attractions and guests’ experiences are the best they can be.
Due to continuing growth and development of Merlin’s attractions and brands on a global scale, we are looking for an Assistant Merchandiser to join our Group Retail team on a 6-month fixed-term basis. The role will be based at our Merlin Technical Hub office based in the thrilling Thorpe Park Resort or our London Bankside office, with a hybrid element for those looking for more flexibility.
Reporting to the Merchandiser, the Assistant Merchandiser will support the end-to-end assortment review process for key categories within our Global Retail product portfolio. You’ll play a critical role in ensuring our product assortment is streamlined, efficient, and aligned with business objectives. Other key responsibilities include;
Data Collection: Gather SKU information, including specifications and photographs, to create a centralised assortment database.
Supplier Collaboration: Build strong relationships with suppliers and attractions, ensuring accurate and timely data input into Merlin systems.
Category Analysis: Work with the Merchandiser to evaluate product capabilities, group similar products, and recommend changes to optimise the assortment.
Support Decision-Making: Provide analytical support and data insights to facilitate assortment reviews and improve stock and sales performance.
⚙️ Process Improvement: Help rationalise product categories, identifying opportunities to eliminate duplicates and low-performing items.
Collaboration: Partner with the Supply Chain and Merchandising teams to understand supplier and delivery capabilities.
RFP Support: Assist in collating data for RFPs (Requests for Proposals) on critical assortment components.
