The role

This is an opportunity for someone with Footwear Buying or Footwear Design experience who wants to build a long-term career in buying.

You’ll combine creative instinct with commercial thinking, contributing to the development of a footwear range that is relevant, balanced and profitable. This role offers real exposure to the full buying cycle—where your ideas, judgement and consistency will shape product decisions over time.

  • Real responsibility and exposure from day one
  • A chance to develop both your creative and commercial skillset
  • A team environment that values ownership, consistency and contribution
  • A clear path to becoming a Buyer through earned progression—not shortcuts

What we are looking for

    • Footwear buying or footwear design experience (essential) : At least 2-3 years
    • A strong creative eye with the ability to translate ideas into commercial product
    • Genuine interest in product, trends and customer behaviour
    • Evidence of commitment and follow-through in previous roles
    • A mindset of contributing first, learning, and building credibility over time
    • Commercial awareness combined with attention to detail
    • Resilience and the ability to stay focused through trading cycles

Who This Suits

Someone who:

  • Is serious about a long-term career in footwear buying
  • Wants to create product that sells—not just follows trends
  • Is prepared to learn properly, contribute to a team, and grow over time

If you’re motivated by product, creativity and building something that lasts, we’d love to hear from you.

Role Specific

  • Support the creation of a commercial and creative footwear range aligned to brand and customer
  • Identify trends and translate them into relevant, wearable product
  • Review trade performance and respond with pace and clarity
  • Work closely with suppliers to deliver on product, price, quality and timelines
  • Collaborate with design and merchandising to bring ranges together
  • Take ownership of your area, contributing to long-term range success
