About the Manager – Bedding Merchandiser Role

The Manager – Bedding Merchandiser will play an important role in managing Zellbury’s bedding merchandise from initial sourcing and product development through production, inventory, and retail performance.

Unlike a role focused only on procurement or production, this position combines product, sourcing, costing, commercial, inventory, and quality responsibilities.

The successful candidate will need to coordinate with vendors and internal teams to ensure bedding products are developed at the right quality and cost and delivered according to required timelines.

Key Job Responsibilities

Local Sourcing and Vendor Development

The selected candidate will be responsible for sourcing materials required for bedding products, including:

• Fabrics
• Fillings
• Trims
• Packaging materials

The role also involves identifying, developing, and working with local vendors capable of meeting the company’s quality, cost, quantity, and delivery requirements.

Product Development and Sampling

The Manager Bedding Merchandiser will coordinate with the Design team during product development and sampling.

This requires translating product concepts into commercially viable bedding products while ensuring that samples meet the intended design, construction, quality, and cost requirements.

Cost and Margin Negotiation

Commercial negotiation is an important part of the position.

The candidate will work on optimizing:

• Fabric costs
• Minimum Order Quantities (MOQs)
• Supplier terms
• Lead times
• Product margins

The objective will be to support the company’s target margins while maintaining appropriate product quality and delivery timelines.

Product Costing

The position requires a good understanding of bedding-product costing.

Responsibilities include monitoring factors such as:

• Fabric consumption
• Processing costs
• Production-related costs
• Wastage factors
• Overall product costing

Candidates should therefore be comfortable working with numbers and understanding how sourcing and production decisions affect final product margins.

Time & Action Calendar Management

The successful candidate will manage and monitor T&A (Time & Action) calendars throughout the production process.

This includes tracking production progress from stages such as cutting through to final packaging, identifying potential delays, and coordinating with relevant teams and vendors to keep production on schedule.

Retail Operations Coordination

The role also involves coordination with retail operations to manage:

• Order quantities
• Product demand
• Inventory requirements

This makes an understanding of Pakistani retail operations particularly important for the position.

Product Performance Monitoring

The Manager Bedding Merchandiser will monitor the commercial performance of bedding products using indicators such as:

• Sell-through
• Stock turns
• Inventory movement
• Markdown requirements

This information can support merchandising and inventory decisions throughout the product lifecycle.

Quality Assurance and Inspections

The candidate will also be responsible for ensuring that products meet the company’s required quality standards.

This includes coordinating quality checks and inspections and working with vendors and relevant internal teams when quality issues arise.

Education Requirements

Applicants should have a Bachelor’s degree in one of the following areas:

• Textile Management
• Fashion
• Supply Chain
• Or a closely related discipline

Experience Requirements

Zellbury requires approximately 3–6 years of relevant experience in Bedding & Home Textiles.
