What I'm looking for

I’m looking to join a reputed organization where I can use my 7+ years in garment merchandising—costing, critical path management, and buyer/vendor coordination—to achieve both organizational and personal goals.

I’m an Executive Merchandiser with 07+ years of experience in Garment Merchandising, centered on buyer & supplier communication, critical path management, and end-to-end order execution—from development to costing to shipment. I’ve extensively worked on order procurement and product development, building reliable flow across sampling, bulk T&A, and production timelines.

In my recent role with Saadia Groups – Lord and Taylor (E-Commerce - US), I worked closely with buyers and vendors to coordinate POs, create accurate product listings and marketing campaigns, and manage inventory and customer-focused merchandising (including analyzing customer data and stock movements). I also leverage Seller cloud, WFX, PLM, and Netsuite to ensure data accuracy, handle image/DAM publishing with OPPS, resolve discrepancies, and support 100% OTP on shipments—while mentoring junior team members to keep delivery and quality on track.
