ABOUT THE ROLE

Are you an experienced Import Merchandiser looking for your next challenge? Do you want to work with fun, creative products in a fast-paced, growing business? This could be the role for you.

We’re looking for an Import Merchandiser to join our team, working across a variety of toy categories. You’ll manage the product journey from concept through to delivery, ensuring everything arrives on time, at the right price, and to the highest quality.

Day-to-day, you’ll:

• Raise, track, and manage purchase orders.

• Liaise daily with factories in the Far East to track samples, approvals, and testing.
• Ensure packaging, testing, and labelling meet customer requirements.

• A strong understanding of managing the Critical Path.
• Excellent organisational and communication skills.
• Confidence working with Far East factories.
• A hands-on, proactive approach — willing to “roll up your sleeves” in a small but busy team.
• Good IT skills (Microsoft Office essential).
