Merchandiser

About the Role

FFlirtyGo is a plus-first comfort-wear brand — shorts, co-ords, loungewear, nighties, leggings and basics that actually fit the customer most brands ignore (M through 6XL+, with plus as our core). This role owns the product from idea to bulk: the technical detail, the materials, the tech packs, the fit, and getting every style cleanly through production at the right cost.

Key Responsibilities

Range & Trend Direction

• Plan the product range season by season — what we build, how many options per category, which lines to push and which to pull back.

• Stay ahead of trend — mood boards, colour stories, silhouette direction before the season kicks in, translated into comfort-wear that holds up (fabric feel and print durability are non-negotiable here).

Materials & Technical Development

• Spec the product properly — fabric, knit/weave, GSM, trims, construction — and build clean, complete tech packs that a factory can run from without guesswork.

• Get fabric and trims right before bulk — sourcing the right quality, testing, approving.

Costing to a Target Price

• Work backwards from a target price: figure out how the product needs to be built to hit it — fabric choice, construction, vendor — so the style works before it goes into production.

Fit — The Gate That Nothing Skips

• Sit on every fit session and sample approval. Nothing moves to bulk without your sign-off. For a fit-authority, plus-first brand, a wrong fit is our single most expensive mistake.

Production

• Own the product through production end to end — find and manage vendors, negotiate cost, run samples, and shepherd each style from approved sample to delivered bulk, on time and on spec.

• Align with design, production and logistics so launches actually ship on schedule.

What We're Looking For

• 3–5 years in fashion merchandising / product development.

• Solid sourcing and costing background — vendors, fabrics, trims, construction.

• Hands-on with tech packs and fit — you can read a sample and know what's wrong.

• A genuine eye for trend-forward, comfort-led product, and a real point of view on fit.

• Strong in Excel / Google Sheets.

• Fast, ownership-driven, figures things out without hand-holding.

• Plus / size-inclusive product experience is a bonus — but you have to care about it
