@rashidwadood
I optimize inventory, merchandising, and sales performance across retail and textile product lines.
What I'm looking for
I'm currently driving merchandising strategy, inventory planning, product selection, pricing, and supplier coordination as Business Development Manager at VIP Group for motorcycle clothing protectors, jackets, pants, gloves, and hoodies.
Across senior merchandising roles at Cuty Merchandising and Sajjad Knitwear, I've planned assortments and seasonal collections, analyzed market and sales trends, forecast demand, managed budgets, and improved product availability while reducing stockouts and overstock. I've also supported visual merchandising, promotional campaigns, vendor sourcing, and cross-functional alignment with sales, marketing, and operations teams.
My foundation includes merchandising experience with Irfan Textile and Knitwear Merchandising, where I managed stock, orders, deliveries, procurement coordination, product performance reporting, and timely product placement.
