We are looking for a Senior Merchandiser to own the intersection of fabric sourcing, production planning, and inventory management. This is a hands-on, cross-functional role that sits at the heart of how we build and deliver product.

You will work closely with our design and product team internally, and with fabric mills, yarn suppliers, and our manufacturing unit externally.

Work with the design team to ensure technical specifications, size sets, and pre-production samples are approved within planned timelines
Manage sampling cycles: proto, fit, pre-production, and TOP (top of production) approvals

Inventory & Demand Planning
Translate sales forecasts and channel-wise demand signals into fabric and production buy plans
Manage raw material inventory at the mill and warehouse level to minimise excess while p
