About the role
We're looking for a Freelance Merchandiser to build our collection vision strategy across all our licenses: how we build our collections, how many products per collection, and how each collection performs on margin.

This is an assignment with real ownership, where your strategy will directly shape which products we bring to market and how well they perform.

What you'll do
- Shape our assortment architecture per license and category: product selection, segmentation, and collection size
- Own our category strategy, turning market trends, consumer insights, and competitor activity into concrete input for our assortment
- Run margin analyses per collection and translate them into commercial recommendations
- Translate strategy into an executable buying plan: forecasting volumes and managing commitments per style
- Support the rollout of new collections to sales and customers, and help us build better merchandising tools and processes Who are you?
You bring 7-10 years of experience in Merchandising and/or Product Development & Buying, with a proven trackrecord in assortment planning, margin analysis, and commercial decision-making. You're strong analytically and organizationally, with a sharp eye for market trends and consumer behavior, and you communicate clearly and confidently with executive-level stakeholders.
