Merchandise Planner / Analyst

Weddington Way is a collaborative shopping experience for wedding parties and the fastest growing e-commerce business in the $100 billion wedding industry. At Weddington Way, bridal parties can browse the largest assortment of bridal party fashion available online and share and discuss products in a virtual showroom.

We keep things fresh at Weddington Way. That means the New Business Team’s mission – to strategically expand into new categories that bring delight and value to our customers – is crucial to our company’s overall success. The team is small, which allows it to be nimble, but it has a high impact on our Weddington Way’s growth and reach. We’re looking for a fashion merchandise planner/analyst who uses both sides of their brain: they must be both strategic and analytical with an eye towards detail; and have the ability to use that data to tell a story. Working at WW means getting in on the ground floor of an amazing company, giving you the opportunity to work on strategic initiatives and participate in important brand decisions. This role especially will provide an opportunity to work closely with the leadership team on high-impact initiatives and projects. If you enjoy strategizing, launching, and scaling new business initiatives and category expansions, this is the job for you!
