Ecommerce Product Merchandiser - Bournemouth

Beyond Retail is an award-winning multi-website online retailer offering bathroom, kitchen and heating products to Britain’s homeowners and tradespeople. Over 8 million people visit our websites each year, and we’re on a mission to help create well-designed homes that look great, feel special, and have a positive impact on people’s everyday lives.

We’ve only just turned 10 years old, and in that time we’ve accelerated from zero to £50m/year revenue, won local and national awards, and grown to 170-plus people. Our three websites – Drench, Tap Warehouse and Only Radiators – are growing from strength to strength and we’re looking for an Ecommerce Product Merchandiser who will help us to continue our growth journey.

This role will be responsible for developing and growing our product categories by launching new products onto our websites, delivering high-quality product listings that are accurate and compelling. This is an exciting and rewarding opportunity where you’ll get to see your product launches go from brochure to spreadsheet to online ready for customers to purchase.

What you’ll be doing:

• Collating product data from our supplier brochures, technical datasheets, and from our suppliers via email, to add to import spreadsheets for upload to our websites
• Using stellar attention to detail to ensure the product attribute data is accurate and completed in full
• Resizing imagery that will compel our customers to purchase our products
• Writing accurate, informative and engaging feature and benefit lists for our product descriptions
• Creating reports on new product performance
• Communicating new product launches out to the wider company via our intranet

The skills and experience you’ll need:

• Google Sheets/Excel. Demonstrable experience in using either Google Sheets or Excel above a basic level. You’ll be using vlookups extensively so you’ll need to be confident with formulas.
• An impressive level of attention to detail and passion for the importance of data accuracy
• Excellent written communication skills
• Tech literate and the ability to learn new platforms and tools quickly
• The ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment and under pressure
• Ambition, initiative and top-notch organisational skills
• Image editing experience (Photoshop) would be beneficial but not essential as training can be provided

What we can offer you:

• Flexible working hours — we work 40 hours per week, typically starting and finishing between 8 am and 6:30 pm Monday to Friday
• All the tech you need + remote working budget for setting up your home office
• A fantastic office, or flexibility to work at home – the choice is yours
• A company-wide commitment to learning and development
• A friendly, customer-focused environment built on teamwork, collaboration, ownership, and transparency
• Team and company-wide social events
• No corporate dress code
• Free fresh fruit and healthy(ish) snacks in the office + library, board games
• Headspace subscription

Our values

Everything we do is shaped by our ten core values. These inform the foundations of our relationships with customers and each other but they also shape how we measure and reward the performance of our colleagues. Simply put, success is not about who you are or how loud you shout, but about the impact you make and what you do. We encourage doing rather than dreaming – if you have an idea, speak up and we will listen! Everyone’s opinion matters and any suggestions are welcomed.

Our Diversity

We aim to foster a culture where individuals of all backgrounds feel confident in bringing their whole selves to work, feel included and their talents are nurtured, empowering them to contribute fully to our vision and goals.

It’s what we do that counts, not where we do it…

At Beyond Retail, we believe the future of work is about flexibility. Not everyone does their best work from an office, and not everyone wants to work from home exclusively. Moving forward employees can choose to work flexibly either from home or in the office. We even have an app that enables you to schedule your time & space at the office to suit you!

Home Working Support Scheme

We want to ensure that those who do choose to work from home can still work in the best possible environment, and are not left out of pocket.

In a nutshell, we offer:

• A one-off allowance for you to set up your home office
• A monthly ‘top-up’ to cover any additional WFH costs (eg: utilities, equipment maintenance etc).
