Ecommerce Merchandiser, AIM Stores

Location: Manchester, UK

Working pattern: Full time, 5 days a week in the Manchester office

About the Role

We're looking for an Ecommerce Merchandiser to help build and shape AIM Stores.

This is a role for someone who knows what a great ecommerce store looks and feels like, but also understands the commercial thinking behind it.

You'll decide how products are presented, grouped, priced and talked about. You'll research markets and competitors, spot opportunities, build collections for different industries and make sure every product earns its place.

We're looking for someone with a strong creative eye, a commercial brain and genuine curiosity about what makes people buy.

What You'll Be Doing

• Merchandising AIM Stores. Owning how products are organised, presented and positioned across the ecommerce experience. You'll think about the journey as a whole, not just individual products.
• Building curated collections. Creating thoughtful product edits for different vertical markets, audiences, occasions and opportunities. From hospitality and healthcare to finance, education and beyond.
• Researching the market. Looking at competitors, consumer brands, industry trends and wider ecommerce behaviour to understand what's working, what's changing and where the opportunities are.
• Setting the right price points. Using market and competitor research to help determine how products should be priced and positioned, rather than relying on guesswork.
• Turning product features into reasons to buy. Understanding what actually makes a product different and translating those USPs into clear, compelling product descriptions.
• Keeping a close eye on competitors. Regularly analysing how other businesses merchandise, price, package and position products, then using those insights to make AIM Stores better.
• Bringing a creative eye. Knowing when a collection feels considered, when a product page needs work and when something simply doesn't look good enough.
• Using AI as part of the job. We embrace AI and want someone who does too. You'll use it as part of your everyday workflow to research faster, explore ideas, analyse information and improve how you work.
• Working as part of the team. Collaborating closely with our brand, marketing, product and wider AIM teams to turn ideas into something customers actually want to use.

Who We're Looking For

You're commercially minded, but creative.

You can spend one minute thinking about whether two products belong next to each other and the next digging into competitor pricing to work out where an opportunity sits.

You have a strong instinct for ecommerce and understand that good merchandising is about much more than making a page look nice.

You'll be:

• Strong at market research and competitor analysis
• Confident interpreting research and turning it into decisions
• Commercially aware, particularly around pricing and positioning
• Naturally interested in ecommerce, retail and consumer behaviour
• Good at spotting and communicating a product's unique selling points
• A strong writer who can make product descriptions useful and compelling
• Able to curate products around specific audiences and vertical markets
• Detail oriented with a strong visual eye
• Comfortable experimenting with AI tools and finding better ways to work
• Collaborative, curious and happy working closely with a team

The Role

AIM Stores is something we're building, not something you'll simply inherit.

So we're looking for someone who wants to have a hand in shaping it. Someone who notices the details, asks why, researches before making decisions and has an opinion on what good ecommerce should look like.

If you understand both what looks good and what makes commercial sense, we'd love to hear from you.
