For one of our international fashion clients, we’re looking for an experienced and passionate Product Merchandising Manager – Footwear 👠 & Bags 👜
This brand operates at the intersection of fashion, lifestyle, and innovation — creating bold, trend-forward collections designed to make an impact. With millions of fans worldwide and a rapidly growing presence across Europe, they’re on an exciting journey to become one of Europe’s leading lifestyle brands. 🚀
You’ll join a dedicated and ambitious product team, working closely with the US head office to align and co-create the European product strategy. Together, you’ll shape collections that speak directly to the European consumer — combining style, market insights, and commercial success.
The Role
As Product Merchandising Manager, you’ll take the lead in defining and executing the seasonal product strategy for footwear and bags in Europe.
You’ll use your strong sense of fashion, commercial instinct, and understanding of local markets to build a collection that excites consumers and strengthens the brand’s identity.
Key Responsibilities
• Develop and execute the seasonal product strategy and assortment for Europe.
• Balance brand-building styles with commercial bestsellers.
• Define assortments per segment and channel (Wholesale, DTC, E-commerce).
• Manage seasonal calendars, budgets, and timelines.
• Analyze market trends, product performance, and consumer behavior.
• Partner closely with US product teams to ensure alignment and consistency.
• Build pricing strategies that meet market and margin objectives.
• Ensure accurate data flow across PLM and internal systems.
• Collaborate with Sales and Marketing to optimize range segmentation and product storytelling.
• Lead the European rollout of assortments and seasonal presentations.
Who You Are 💡
• 3–5 years’ experience in product merchandising, range planning, or category management (ideally in fashion, footwear, or accessories).
• Strong trend awareness and understanding of the European fashion market.
• Analytical yet intuitive — you understand numbers but think like a fashion lover.
• Excellent communicator and collaborator across teams and departments.
• Structured, organized, and experienced with PLM systems.
• Passionate, hands-on, and eager to contribute to a growing, dynamic brand.
• Able to combine strategic vision with practical execution.
Why This Opportunity?
This is your chance to join a fast-growing international fashion brand that celebrates creativity, bold ideas, and individuality. You’ll work in an inspiring environment where your contribution truly makes an impact — shaping collections that define trends across Europe. ✨
