The EMEA Market Merchandiser Mission:

As the Marketplace Merchandiser for Endura, you are the voice of the consumer in the region and the operational connector between brand, product, and market. You’ll manage and deliver the creation of consumer-right assortments and price positioning across Endura key markets in EMEA—optimising for growth, profitability, and brand equity.

You’ll gather, distil, and action market insights, sales feedback, and data analytics to influence global range direction, drive best-in-class regional assortments, and ensure Endura shows up in the right places, at the right time, at the right price, in the right quantity for the right planet.

This role is pivotal to operationalising Endura global strategy within the region—helping to protect and grow our swim category leadership in EMEA.

How you'll drive success:

• Manage and optimise the Endura EMEA product assortment in collaboration with commercial and product teams, balancing local relevance with global brand strategy.
• Coordinate tailored assortments for key strategic regions/partners to drive adoption and elevate brand perception.
• Create assortments using sell-in/sell-out, ROI, and margin data.
• Deliver seasonal editing with a “less is more” focus, prioritising hero products, storytelling, segmentation, and credible outfit building.
• Manage pricing inputs (working closely with the Pricing Analyst): gather market benchmarks, GBB architecture, consumer perception, and competitive insights.
• Collaborate with Sales, Product, and Finance to recommend pricing strategies aligned to margin, volume, and brand equity goals.
• Support simplification across pricing lists and contribute to building scalable frameworks.
• Deliver and manage the analysis of Endura EMEA assortment performance against key metrics: ASP, margin %, adoption, sell-through, penetration.

What you'll need to thrive:

• Strong merchandising expertise across assortment planning, pricing, segmentation, and line architecture.
• Advanced analytical and commercial acumen: ability to interpret data and tell actionable stories.
• Experience contributing to forecasting, demand planning, and pricing positioning processes.
• Strategic mindset with strong operational delivery capability.
• Consumer-obsessed, commercially sharp, and brand proud.
• Curious, proactive, and adaptable—able to operate independently within defined frameworks.
• Strong communicator and collaborator—able to influence across functions without direct authority.
• Comfortable using digital tools and evolving technologies; openness to AI and automation is a plus.
