  • Supporting the Buyer in developing and building collections through market analysis, identifying opportunities, pricing and product trends.
  • Building and maintaining strong supplier relationships, ensuring deadlines and expectations are met.
  • Supporting sales and marketing activity by contributing to trend packs, partner presentations and product selection for campaigns.
  • Monitoring the website to ensure product is presented in line with how it was bought and intended to trade.
  • Building strong cross-functional relationships with teams including Merchandising, Marketing, Design and Ecommerce.

Who you are

  • A strong interest in Buying and product, ideally with some experience in a retail or head office environment.
  • Highly organised with excellent attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple deadlines.
  • A proactive self-starter with a willingness to learn and take ownership of tasks.
  • Strong communication skills, confident working with internal teams and external suppliers.
