Job Description

We are working with an established fashion business, predominantly across menswear, who are looking to appoint a Wholesale Merchandising, QA and General Office Assistant to join their team. This is an entry-level opportunity, ideal for a recent graduate or someone early in their career who is keen to gain broad hands-on experience within a small, busy and fast-paced environment.

This role will primarily support the merchandising team, with some ad hoc involvement with QA and wider office support. It would suit someone with a positive attitude, strong organisation skills and a genuine willingness to get involved wherever needed. The position offers a varied day-to-day remit and a great opportunity to build experience across merchandising administration, sample handling and general product support.

Key responsibilities will include:

  • Supporting the merchandising team with day-to-day order administration, contracts and critical path updates
  • Creating barcodes, checking returned artwork and approving carton labels
  • Filing dips, fabric swatches and related paperwork, and sending approvals to mills or factories as needed
  • Opening daily parcels from factories and mills, photographing contents and distributing them to the relevant departments
  • Booking DHL shipments and organising associated paperwork
  • Supporting the QA team with basic garment measuring during busy periods, with full training provided
  • Helping to organise, store and move samples around the office, including preparing them to send to customers, sales, photography or RRP
  • Keeping showrooms and sample areas tidy and well organised, while also helping to greet visitors when needed

Person specification:

  • Keen to start or continue a career within fashion, with related studies or some fashion experience helpful but not essential
  • Proficient in Microsoft Office
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Proactive, organised and detail focused
  • Flexible, positive and happy to support across different tasks in a small fast-paced team
