# Assistant Merchandiser – Fashion Retail – Al-Futtaim Group

Al-Futtaim’s retail division carries a portfolio of major international brands, including Marks & Spencer in the UAE, and an Assistant Merchandiser supports the buying and merchandising team in managing product ranges for the fashion business. This is a UAE National role focused on developing local talent within the merchandising function.

The day-to-day work involves supporting range planning, tracking sales and stock performance by category, helping analyze which products are performing well or poorly, and coordinating with suppliers and internal teams to make sure stock arrives on time and in the right quantities. Merchandising in fashion retail is a numbers-heavy discipline: an Assistant Merchandiser spends a lot of time in spreadsheets and reporting tools, translating sales data into recommendations about what to reorder, discount, or discontinue.

Because fashion retail moves on seasonal cycles, the role also involves supporting the planning process for upcoming seasons, working alongside buyers to understand what’s selling and feeding that insight into future range decisions. Strong attention to detail matters here, since stock and pricing errors can have a direct and visible impact on the shop floor.

This is a strong entry point into retail merchandising for someone early in their career who is analytically minded, interested in fashion retail, and wants to build a foundation in how a major international retail brand manages its UAE product range.

## Requirements

- Bachelor’s degree in business, retail management, or a related field

- UAE National (Emirati) candidate, in line with the role’s talent development focus

- Strong Excel skills and comfort working with sales and stock data

- Interest in fashion retail and understanding of seasonal merchandising cycles

- Good communication skills for coordinating with buyers, suppliers, and store teams

- High attention to detail, particularly around stock and pricing accuracy

- Willingness to learn and take direction within a structured retail merchandising team
