About the role
Job Description
Join ASOS as a Merchandising Assistant and kick start your career in fashion retail!
This is the perfect entry point for someone eager to learn, grow, and make an impact in one of the most exciting areas of the business. You will play a key role in supporting the Merchandising team to ensure the right products are in the right place at the right time, helping us deliver the best experience for our customers.
This role is hands on and fast paced. You will work with large volumes of data, learn multiple systems, and develop a sharp eye for detail. It’s admin heavy, but every task you complete contributes to the bigger picture of driving sales and shaping our product offering. You will need to be organised, adaptable, and ready to tackle changing priorities head on.
The Details
* Maintain accurate product and stock data across systems (data entry, updating spreadsheets). * Raise and track purchase orders and liaise with suppliers for delivery updates. * Monitor stock levels and flag issues (e.g., delays, shortages). * Prepare reports and presentations (sales summaries, stock updates) for team meetings. * Support promotional and markdown activities by updating systems and checking accuracy. * Assist with administrative tasks such as filing, scheduling, and meeting preparation. * Collaborate with Buyers and Merchandisers to ensure smooth product flow. * Supporting our culture by championing Diversity, Equity & Inclusion strategies.
We believe being together in person helps us move faster, connect more deeply, and achieve more as a team. That’s why our approach to working together includes spending at least 3 days a week in the office. It’s a rhythm that speeds up decision making, helps ASOSers learn from each other more quickly, and builds the kind of culture where people can grow, create, and succeed.
Qualifications
You are a collaborative team player with a genuine passion for fashion and a strong connection to the ASOS values: Authentic, Brave, Creative, Deliver.
Ideally, you will bring some previous admin experience or exposure to office based tasks, plus an understanding of retail operations or fashion trends - whether through work experience, internships, or education. Familiarity with systems for stock, pricing, or order management is a bonus, as is an analytical mindset and commercial awareness to help interpret data and support decision making.
What you will need to succeed:
* Confidence working with large data sets while maintaining accuracy. * Comfort using Excel and digital tools (sorting, filtering, formulas). * Strong numeracy skills * Strong attention to detail and excellent organisational skills. * Ability to prioritise tasks and manage deadlines in a fast paced environment. * A quick learner who can adapt to new systems and changing priorities. * Clear and professional communication skills for working with internal teams and external suppliers. * For Senior level MA vacancies, you'll need some previous experience in a Merchandising, Planning or comparable role
If you are passionate about fashion, thrive on problem solving, and want to build a solid foundation for a career in merchandising, this is your chance to get stuck in and start your journey with ASOS.
