Edison Stone is the wholesale subsidiary of the Yuppiechef group, based in Cape Town. We distribute top international and industry-leading kitchen and homeware brands and products. We are a close, relationship-based team that shares a passion for cooking and everything in the kitchen.

Although we unite over how we work together, each of us brings something different to the team and we celebrate our diversity.

**Who we’re looking for**

We work in a dynamic retail environment and new challenges come our way every day, so you will be able to take on new tasks and challenges with a positive, strategic and goal-focused attitude.

- Work closely with the Planning team to forecast and track key account metrics (e.g. monthly/quarterly/annual sales forecasts and results).
- Prepare and communicate monthly and quarterly reports on account status, including opportunities/challenges to internal and external stakeholders.
- Be required to travel occasionally

**Who you’ll be working with**

Internally, you will be part of the Merchandise team and collaborate closely with the Planning, Sales and Marketing teams and externally, you will be interacting with international brand partners and wholesale customers.

**Who you are**

You are a capable, motivated and hard-working individual. Besides having the necessary talent and experience for the role, we’re looking for someone who is a team player, willing to assist where needed to help get the job done.

You are able to work independently as well as create and maintain collaborative working relationships across multiple teams and role players. You can multitask and track details with a clear focus on priorities. You are excited to work in a fast-paced, sometimes unstructured environment, confident to pave the way ahead and make decisions without needing supervision. You are dedicated to service and want to see all our brands perform at their full potential.
