VOSH International | Vietnam Production

Job description: Merchandiser

At Vosh, the merchandiser is the link between the factory and the customer and is one of the most important people in the supply chain. If the merchandiser does their job well then everything works – development to prototype, sample confirmation, pre-production preparation, purchase order input, production, shipment and (on time!) delivery all happen and are successful because of the work that a merchandiser does… 

A Vosh merchandiser does even more – he or she is also a salesperson for the company: when they work with the factories, the Vosh merchandiser leads by example in the way they work with their colleagues in the factories, so that the relationship between Vosh and our production base continues to grow and become stronger. When a Vosh merchandiser is working with a customer, eitheronMerchandiser-line or in person, then everything they do is key not just to keeping that customer, but also to increasing business with that customer: the fact that we answer an email within 24 hours is just as important as showing a customer the latest product or materials for their next collection.

We are looking to recruit a person who will:

• Liaise with customers and overseas sales offices
• Liaise with factories
• Liaise with other suppliers

• Control the development process: receive designs and sketches, assess material requirements, liaise with internal departments (pattern making, sampling) and external resources (factories and suppliers), order samples and manage the critical path (date and time lines), check and despatch samples.
• Manage the pre-production process: confirm pre-production samples, materials and accessories with suppliers and customers, manage purchase order input and purchase order output to suppliers.
• Oversee production process: manage critical paths, maintain communications with all stakeholders (factory, QC, sales office, customer), trouble shoot.
• Liaise with factory, customer and freight forwarder to ensure speedy and efficient shipment and document processing

We want to find a person who can:
• Work closely with a team and enjoy multi-tasking
• Identify new opportunities with vendors and customers
• Speak and write English with confidence

We need a person who wants to:
• Join a young, informal company that is expanding and going places
• Develop their skills and challenge themselves
• Create opportunities for themselves, their colleagues and the company
