Overview
Product Developer Merchandiser Jobs in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain at HEREU
Title: Product Developer Merchandiser
Company: HEREU
Location: Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain
About HEREU
HEREU is a Barcelona-born house of footwear and accessories, built on Mediterranean craft and contemporary design. We work hand in hand with a close network of Spanish artisans and factories, and our pieces travel to wholesale partners and clients around the world. We're building a tighter, more structured product function, and this role sits at the heart of it.
About the role
We're looking for a merchandiser, buyer or product developer ready to take ownership of both range building and production, the discipline that connects design intent to the finished pair. You will own the seasonal range plan and the production calendar in parallel, across SS and AW, coordinating closely with a product development specialist and a production specialist. You'll act as the connective tissue between design, factories, sales and finance, from first sketch to final delivery.
What you'll do
- Build and own the seasonal range plan, pricing and margin structure, and MOQ file across all collections.
- Coordinate product development with factories: BOMs, technical sheets, materials, and the collection development tracker.
- Lead fittings and technical validation, ensuring every style is confirmed before production launch.
- Oversee production follow-up and purchase orders, monitoring the critical path from PO to delivery.
- Manage sample flows (SMS, proto, fit) against commercial deadlines.
- Prepare the go-to-market package each season: critical path, sell-in materials, catalogue proofing.
- Set clear priorities and deadlines for the product development specialist and production administrator, keeping their work aligned with the collection calendar.
What you have to bring
- 3–6 years in merchandising, production or product management within fashion, footwear or accessories.
- Solid grasp of the product development lifecycle, from raw material to delivery.
- Experience with seasonal range planning, pricing and margin, and factory-facing coordination (fittings, BOM review, production follow-up).
- Strong Excel skills; ERP/PLM exposure (Zedonk) and wholesale platforms (Joor) are a plus.
- Fluent English and Spanish — both required, spoken and written.
- Organised, precise, calm under pressure, comfortable working across design, sales and finance.
What we offer
- 35,000–40,000 € gross/year, based on experience.
- Based at our Poblenou office in Barcelona, on-site with flexible hours and one remote day per week.
- Real ownership from day one, in a small, design-led team with a genuine craft ethos.
- The chance to help build the operational backbone of an internationally growing, independent brand.
- An international & creative environment.
