The Opportunity
Key Responsibilities
- Own item setup and item maintenance, ensuring product data is accurate and complete across systems
- Maintain categorical line sheets, historical archives, and structural data points for the assortment
- Organize, track, and maintain product samples for line reviews, market meetings, and photoshoots
- Assist with style and color naming ahead of line review, ensuring names align with nuuds' established naming conventions (e.g., no "The" prefix, place/mood-based names, shared name roots for paired items)
- Proof wholesale line sheets and product information for accuracy prior to distribution
- Pull and distribute weekly/monthly reporting on sales, margin, and stock levels
- Monitor replenishment SKUs and flag stock-out or reorder needs
- Manage inventory uploads
- Assist in assortment reporting and hindsighting
- Help prepare data and presentations for seasonal buy and core reviews
- Pull and organize sell-through-by-size data to support Planning's size curve development
- Stay on the pulse of competitive brands and market trends — pricing, product launches, positioning — and assist in ongoing competitive analysis to inform seasonal and core strategy
- Support pricing insights and competitive price benchmarking to inform Merchandising's pricing strategy — surfacing how nuuds' price points compare across the competitive set by category
- Compile competitive insights into a consistent, usable format for Merchandising and leadership review
- Prepare decks and materials for milestone meetings and cross-functional needs
- Ensure data consistency and alignment across Planning, Merchandising, Product Development, and Design — serving as a checkpoint so teams are working from the same numbers and timelines
- Partner with Supply Chain and Operations to proactively surface delays or risks affecting replenishment or new style delivery, and help track resolution
- Track and follow up on action items and decisions from buy meetings and line reviews, ensuring cross-functional partners are aligned on next steps
What You Bring
- 2–5 years of experience in merchandising, planning, buying, or retail operations
- Strong Excel skills (pivot tables, VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, formula-building); comfort learning new systems quickly
- High attention to detail, with the organizational rigor to manage data and deadlines across multiple functions
- Demonstrated curiosity about the retail/competitive landscape, with an interest in translating market observations into useful business insight
- Comfort working cross-functionally and communicating clearly with Design, Production, Supply Chain, Operations, Ecomm, and Wholesale
- A self-starter mentality — someone who can execute reliably today while building toward more strategic responsibility as the role grows
- Experience with PLM, ERP, or planning systems a plus
- Bachelor's degree preferred, not required
Growth Trajectory
As nuuds scales, this role is expected to grow in scope — from executing reporting and data management today toward greater ownership of competitive strategy input, cross-functional process design, and eventually a more senior Merchandising or Planning track, depending on where the person's strengths and interests lead.
