About the job

If you get a buzz from seeing great product ranges land at just the right time love using data to tell a story, enjoy keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes, then this could be your next step.

At Funky Pigeon, we’re all about helping people celebrate the big moments, the small moments, and everything in between — with gifts and personalised products that make someone smile.

You’ll manage forecasting, stock intake and replenishment to make sure products are available exactly when customers want them. Close collaboration with the Buying team helps shape customer‑led, commercially sound ranges, and you’ll contribute to promotional planning as well as reviewing how events perform. 

You’ll also keep data accurate across all systems and manage sell‑through on dated or seasonal products. Alongside this, you’ll work collaboratively with colleagues across Buying, Marketing, Production, Suppliers, Finance and Tech to help us achieve our shared goals.

All of this sits within a collaborative, fast‑moving team where curiosity is encouraged, ideas are welcomed, and no two days ever feel quite the same.

What We’re Looking For:

• Experience in merchandising or planning within retail or e‑commerce.
• Confident working with forecasting, stock management and purchase orders.
• Advanced Excel skills and a natural flair for analysis.
• Thrives in a fast‑paced environment and is comfortable taking ownership.
• Communicates clearly and works well with different teams.
• Takes a commercial, proactive approach to problem solving.

Why Join Us? You’ll be part of a creative, collaborative, and genuinely fun environment where ideas fly and people care. With exciting projects, supportive colleagues, and plenty of room to grow, it’s the perfect place to make your mark and enjoy the journey. Come be part of something brilliant!
