Senior Digital Merchandiser

As Rituals, our Digital Trading team is dedicated to creating an exceptional online shopping experience across our website and app. We’re looking for a Senior Digital Merchandiser with a commercial, data-driven mindset who blends strategic category management with hands-on digital merchandising to protect and grow commercial performance. You take ownership, love diving into the details, know everything about best-in-class merchandising, and move fast from data to action – always exploring new growth opportunities.

Key Responsibilities

In this role, you will:

• Own and execute a digital category strategy and define and report on KPIs.
• Drive commercial performance by turning KPI insights into fast trading/merchandising actions.
• Develop the merchandising strategy across key levers: sorting, ranking, search, recommendations, upsell, cross-sell and bundles.
• Make OOS-aware trading decisions to protect conversion and avoid customer dead ends when products go out of stock.
• Elevate the PDP strategy: content priorities, consistency and commercial storytelling
• Drive continuous optimization: turn data, customer insights and trends into A/B-tested improvements using CRO and merchandising tools.
• Own peak trading preparation and daily trading optimisation during the most important commercial periods of the year.
• Coordinate and/or lead commercial initiatives that drive business growth by defining clear business cases and requirements, and coordinating delivery with key stakeholders.
• Partner closely with Marketing, Content, Supply, Innovation and Tech teams to ensure execution quality, alignment and timely delivery.

“At Rituals, Digital Merchandising goes beyond optimizing product placement – it’s about creating an inspiring experience that connects with our customers. If you thrive in a dynamic environment, are driven by data, and always on the hunt for growth opportunities, we can’t wait to see what you’ll bring!”
-- Michelle, Digital Trading Lead - Home, Body & Beauty --
