Buyer & Merchandising Manager

Good Tuesday is a design-led stationery brand and a certified B Corp. We create beautiful tools that help people plan their time with purpose. We believe good planning creates space for what really matters.

We may be small, but we have all the makings of an iconic brand: impactful products, a loyal community and a strong sense of purpose. We’re growing quickly, and we’re looking for curious, kind and capable people who want to help build a company that uses business as a force for good, while having fun along the way.

As our Buyer & Merchandising Manager, you will be responsible for ensuring we have the right stock, in the right place, at the right time and at the right margin.

The core of the role is demand forecasting, inventory planning and purchase-order management. You will monitor sales and stock closely across ecommerce, wholesale and marketplace channels, identify reorder requirements and work proactively with suppliers to keep production and deliveries on schedule.

Because we place frequent, relatively short-run orders, this is a hands-on role. You will stay close to sales, stock, supplier lead times and purchase-order activity, while you continue building the systems, reporting and processes needed to make planning increasingly efficient and scalable.

We use AI-enabled tools, automation and data systems to improve forecasting, reporting and decision-making. You do not need to be an AI specialist, but you should be confident in adopting new tools, validating their outputs and using technology to work more accurately and efficiently.
