Merchandise Administration Coordinator
Global headwear brand — Remote (must work 9am–5p
Pay: $245 USD per week (paid weekly)
Contract: Ongoing (we’re looking for someone long-term who can grow into more senior merchandising/admin responsibilities).
Start: ASAP / by mutual agreement.
Love merchandising, data and making product launches run smoothly? We’re looking for a tidy-minded merch admin who lives in PLM, gets inventory reporting, and has real-world experience in fashion/accessories/footwear. This is a hands-on, highly visible role — you’ll sit at the intersection of Product, Sales, Customer Service and Inventory and help keep the engine running.
Why this role is great
- Work with a global headwear brand and play a key role in product launches and program execution.
- Remote, but fully aligned to Melbourne hours (so you’re paid to collaborate with senior merchandisers and cross-functional teams in real time).
- Weekly pay, stable ongoing contract — ideal for merch admins who want reliable hours and a clear scope of work.
What you’ll own
- PLM data creation & maintenance — create and manage product MIDs/attributes, season/collection fields, program and custom MIDs, and ensure data architecture supports commercial reporting and forecasting.
- Order form & program setup — develop accurate order forms for launches, confirm deadlines, and ensure global MIDs are created in advance of programs.
- Inventory & sales reporting — produce weekly SOH, NOS/ATP, residual stock, sell-through and weeks-cover reporting; support wholesale and B2B reporting.
- Global range & program support — manage cancelled MIDs/program communications, post program wrap-ups, assist with global launches and forecasts.
- Cross-team collaboration — liaise with Product, Sourcing, Sales, Customer Service and Master Data teams to keep everyone aligned.
- Continuous improvement — spot data gaps, propose fixes, and improve the PLM/master data setup for smoother reporting and fewer exceptions.
What is a Product MID (short and useful)
A product MID — short for Material ID (also called Master Item ID or Style ID) — is the single, system-level identifier for a product family in your PLM/ERP.
- It’s the master record for a style or concept; individual SKUs/barcodes are created from that master.
- Typical MID fields: season, collection, product name/description, category/family, colour range, size range, composition/materials, BOM/components, cost, vendor/sourcing info, HS code/GTIN, images, and launch + sales end dates.
- Why it matters: the MID is the single source of truth for launches, costing, customs/program tracking, ordering and reporting. Clean MIDs = fewer exceptions, faster launches, and reliable inventory & sell-through reporting.
What we need from you (must-haves):
- PLM experience — essential. You’ve used PLM day-to-day (MID creation, attribute input, order form creation).
- Fashion / accessories / footwear experience — essential. You’ve worked in retail/wholesale merchandising or product admin for apparel, footwear or accessories.
- Strong Excel and data skills. Comfortable with data entry, cleanups, pivot tables and basic reporting.
- Excellent English communication. You’ll be collaborating heavily with Australia-based teams.
- Organised, accurate, and deadline-driven. You manage high volumes of product data without dropping the ball.
- Availability: Must be available 9:00am–5:00p
Nice-to-haves:
- SAP experience highly regarded — not essential, but a big plus.
- Experience with BI/HANA or other reporting tools.
- Knowledge of master data best-practices and product lifecycle.
- Previous work with global program launches and sourcing teams.
What success looks like (first 3 months):
- PLM inputs for new programs and customs are timely and accurate.
- Order forms and program deadlines are consistently correct and shared on time.
- Weekly inventory and sell-through reports delivered on schedule, with clear, actionable commentary.
- Fewer data exceptions and faster program wrap-ups thanks to cleaner master data.
