George

You’ll kick every season off with an Early Trend presentation forecasting upcoming macro trends. That means always being on the lookout for inspiration, using trend books and websites, inspirational shopping trips and catwalks, and even conversations with customers, to capture the upcoming season.

And with all that inspiration, you’ll sketch up the range, checking the total offer, actioning samples, then creating detailed techpacks to send to supply partners that bring your designs to life. When they come back, you’ll work together to select the best, build the range and create a digital & physical range plan. Then you’ll see the garments you designed on a fit model to help get that perfect fit before they go off to the store!

In between all this, you’ll also catch up on quarterly trends, with presentations about key moments, like Easter or Halloween, and what’s on the customers’ minds. You’ll also react to trades and head to factories to build relationships with our suppliers and understand what they can offer us.

Everything you’ll do in Merchandising

Life in Merchandising is all about right stock, right place, right quantity, right time. Split between planning and trading, you’ll work closely with Buying and Design to create a strategy that maximises sales and profit, then budget and option plan for each category, and plan the space for stores and grades. When it comes to trading, you’ll analyse sales, from reviewing history and identifying trends, as well as products, their colours, sizes, and shapes. You’ll look at in-season trading, reacting to sales performance and managing risk and opportunities, as well as taking care of critical path management and supplier relationships.

What life looks like in Sourcing & Quality

As part of Sourcing & Quality at George, you’ll play a key part in supporting the wider George business, managing risk and driving meaningful partnerships across the globe. You’ll work with Trading to deliver accurate supplier forecasting, and support the delivery of a diverse geo mix to balance agility and cost.

What you’ll be doing as part of Supply

Our Supply teams take care of everything from import planning and supply optimisation to brand merchandising and online supply. So as part of this team, you could be managing the movement of stock from overseas, checking freight rates and transit packaging, planning where new design lines are going, or taking care of events and promotions as well as markdowns. You might spend some time in-store, listening to customers and colleagues, and really getting to know the customer journey to feed that back into our planning and delivery.

We’re making our stores a hub for everything you need. All in one place. So our customers don’t have to worry about finding the time to pick up their prescriptions, new glasses, uniforms for the kids, a replacement for the plate they dropped… oh, and their groceries, too!

Because they can do it all at Asda. And so can you.

Here at George, we’re on a mission to be the UK’s favourite value-led lifestyle brand – bringing style, at a price everyone can afford. We’re dedicated to revolutionising the industry in everything we do, offering sustainable and affordable everyday products for all our customers.

But we’re also shaping a working culture that’s better by design, too. That’s why when you join us in George you’ll discover a place that’s just about bursting at the seams with creativity, freedom, and passion for bringing the best ideas to life to drive value. We’re making fashion better for all. And that means for your career too.
