Will you enjoy being part of H&M Group and Production? We surely hope so, but only if you’re comfortable in an environment with high levels of ambiguity and constant change. It is a place where your opinions matter right from day one, so you better have them and not be afraid to speak up; a place where “questioning what you’re told” is more often than “doing what you’re told”; a place where you can make mistakes, learn from those mistakes and develop through them.

We are looking for a Global Merchandiser for H&M Men.

As a Global Merchandiser, you have ownership over the whole purchasing workflow to secure the global best buy, best price and on time delivery in your assigned markets.

At the same time, you have ownership over the Assortment/Brand merchandising workflow, to secure the best customer offer.

You have shared responsibilities in driving development, quotation and order follow up processes per the set strategy to secure the best deal for our customers.

You are responsible for making the necessary assessments to ensure the best markets are selected for each requested product.

Finally, you are responsible for managing requests and orders, following the company routines/methods and ensuring best deals and on time delivery.

As a Global Merchandiser, you deliver on the areas you have ownership for by living our values every day and primarily through collaboration and teamwork.

You work closely with your team members, your leadership team and the regional supply chain teams to select the best markets for the products you’re working with.

You collaborate with the Buying Office, clarifying all details in the requests received. You also clearly communicate the best options that have been identified to the Buying Office, once a market selection has been made.

You have the negotiation skills for securing the best deal you proactively follow up orders to secure the best quality and on time delivery.

You follow our routines closely and make sure systems are updated and information is shared and available for analysis.

You always act with high levels of professionalism while at the same time behaving as an ambassador of H&M values towards everyone you engage with.

Is H&M right for me?

People who are happy and do well at H&M tend to thrive on using their intuition and common sense. It is the place of possibility, and it is also the place of ambiguity and constant change. It is not a company for micro-managers or people who operate on auto-pilot. It is a company where your opinions will influence business decisions. So, you need to enjoy making them heard, questioning how things work, and trying things that you might not be familiar with.

Consequently, we depend on teamwork. We have a pretty high tolerance for failure, provided you can show you’re learning. You can expect to take on new responsibilities and move around a bit. If that’s what you’re looking for, this could be the start of a varied and rewarding career. Beyond that, it’s really up to you. 70% of our people manager roles are hired from within, so there’s not much limit to how far you can go. All we ask is that you be yourself, take ownership of your work and your career goals, and go for it with everything you’ve got.

Thinking about applying?

If all of this sounds like it might be your kind of thing then you should definitely get in touch. We’re more about personality and competence than qualifications, so don’t worry if your skills aren’t a perfect match.

If your CV is selected then our talent acquisition team in Shanghai/Guangzhou will invite you for a phone call, followed by a couple of interviews at one or more of our offices.
