We are the largest general merchandise retailer in NZ across The Warehouse, Warehouse Stationery & Noel Leeming. To ensure we can adapt quickly to ever-changing customer needs, we’ve adopted an agile structure with a focus on collaboration, productivity and speed-to-market.

The Commercial Planning Chapter Lead role is pivotal in ensuring our assortments meet both our strategic commercial goals and our customer needs. Sitting within the Planning Chapter (and reporting into the Domain Chapter Lead), your time will be split between driving better commercial outcomes for the business and people management.

With strong financial acumen, assortment building skills and a real commercial mindset, you'll work collaboratively to drive optimisation and manage the product lifecycle process, while consistently staying on top of trends and performance. People leadership will be at the heart of what you do - developing, supporting, nurturing, and empowering the team to perform and be at their very best. The people management aspects of this role will see you facilitate capability growth, consistency of process and allocation of resources within your chapter.

Your key responsibilities will include:

- Lead and mentor a team of commercial planning professionals, fostering a collaborative environment that encourages innovative thinking and problem solving.
- Aggregation of commercial plans and strategies
- Working with the Buyers on range assortment plans, controlling markdowns and category spend
- Setting budgets and reviewing forward plans
- Analysing product performance trends and making recommendations for improvement
- Reporting and planning - providing effective financial, forecasting and stock flow management reports
- Promotional, Clearance and Markdown planning and optimisation
- OTB Management
- Facilitation of review meetings involving various levels of stakeholders

**Qualifications**
We will rely on your excellent communication and relationship management skills, as this role will see you work cross functionally and influence a range of stakeholders at all levels. Equally important is your ability to develop, empower and nurture your team to drive engagement and best practice. Your passion and drive to share knowledge and raise the bar will be infectious. Living and breathing Agile attributes such as servant leadership, collaboration and a growth mindset will come naturally to you.

Key skills include:

- Merchandise planning experience with a track record of delivering results
- Deep understanding of retail and range science including the mechanics of promotional and clearance markdown
- Passion for people leadership and development
- A pragmatic and resilient work style
- Strong analytical and strategic thinking capabilities
- Good communication and collaboration skills.
- Decisiveness in decision making in the fast-pace, dynamic retail environment
- This role is in our Apparel & Footwear category so experience is desired

**Additional Information**
We offer a dynamic, flexible and supportive team environment working with like-minded people within a business that cares about and recognises individuals.

We also offer a range of benefits that work for you, your lifestyle and your career which include flexible working arrangements, team member discounts, wellbeing support, leave benefits and more
