Product, Merchandising & Marketing Assistant

Assortment planners play a critical role in the strategic success of retail operations by ensuring the right product mix is available to meet consumer demand. At DotActiv, we are looking for data\-driven professionals to help us transform in\-store experiences by using deep analytical insights to recommend customer\-centric assortment plans.

**Who Is DotActiv?**
 In order to explain who DotActiv is, it's first important to explore the topic of category management. That's because category management is a core part of our business and has been for the past 25 years.
   

  

 The idea behind category management is straightforward: it's the process used to manage product categories to deliver value to shoppers in a bid to increase both the sales and profit for a retailer. In short, it is the science behind how retailers decide on which products to stock as well as how to organise these products in\-store so as to please their customers.
   

  

 Our history dates back to 1991 when we launched as a Category Management consultancy. In 1997, we became the first company to establish a formalised and collaborative management process between a retailer and supplier when we signed Pick n Pay as a client. That wasn't our only first. In 2001, when we relaunched under the name of DotActiv, we became the first company to create a data\-driven category management system. The fact that we have since expanded and evolved that system means today, we have more than 2000 retail professionals using our planogram software in over 110 countries.
   

  

**What You Can Expect From This Job**
 As an Assortment Planner, your primary focus will be the analytical "heavy lifting" behind product selection to ensure every SKU on the shelf earns its place. Your responsibilities include:
   

  

* Strategic Assortment Planning: Using specialized software to create data\-driven assortment plans that balance consumer demand with physical space constraints
* Cluster Analysis: Analyse cluster plans per product category to optimise the ranges within the clusters
* The Right Product Mix: Ensuring the ideal variety and breadth of products are available at the right locations to meet specific shopper needs and preferences
* Performance Analysis: Maximizing category performance by analyzing product financial performance and shopper psychology
* SKU Rationalization: Identifying high\-performing products and opportunity gaps within a range
* Client Advisory: Supporting and guiding retail customers through complex data\-driven recommendations that drive sales and profitability


 You'll have access to DotActiv's all\-in\-one category management software to complete all of the above.
   

  

**Requirements**
**What We Expect From You**
 We are looking for candidates with a high aptitude for numbers and a passion for data\-driven decision\-making.
   

  

**Education and Requirements:**
* A Consumer Science or Commerce degree (or similar) from an accredited university
