Company description

Furniturebox is a fast-growing online furniture business. Our mission is to make beautiful homes possible for everyone, with ease, whatever your budget. We have a gorgeous range of stylish and practical furniture for all rooms, and a helpful team ready to answer any questions, with our 4.9 Trustpilot rating showing how much we care. Our fast, free next-day delivery with 8pm cut-off and our finance options mean our products can be in their new homes hassle-free. With big plans to become the best furniture company in the UK, USA and globally, we’re all about the moments, the memories, and the feeling of truly being at home.”

Role Summary

Responsible for leading the end-to-end buying strategy across the category. This includes identifying trends, sourcing products globally, supporting negotiating supplier terms and curating a commercially viable, design-led assortment. This role plays a key part in shaping the brand’s identity and ensuring the offering meets customer expectations in quality, style, value, and availability.

Duties and Responsibilities

Own full category commercial performance, delivering sales, gross margin, intake margin and cash targets through disciplined range architecture, supplier strategy and pricing governance

Define and execute a 12–24-month category strategy, aligned to business growth plans, clearly articulating range structure (Good/Better/Best), price ladders, option depth and SKU productivity targets

Drive margin expansion through structured supplier negotiation, cost engineering, volume consolidation and long-term partnership planning without compromising brand positioning

Lead structured range planning and lifecycle management, reducing SKU complexity, improving stock turn, and eliminating underperforming lines based on data-led decision making

Translate brand positioning into commercially viable product frameworks, ensuring quality, design, price architecture and finish standards reinforce profitability and market differentiation

Develop market-led product strategies, integrating trend forecasting, customer insight, competitive benchmarking and performance analytics to identify high-return opportunities

Identify and close category gaps, proactively scoping new supplier partnerships, innovation opportunities and first-to-market launches that drive incremental revenue and protect competitive advantage

Build and maintain a resilient, optimised supply base, consolidating suppliers where appropriate to increase leverage, reduce risk and improve operational efficiency

Lead annual and seasonal supplier business planning sessions, agreeing growth targets, margin expectations, service level improvements and joint development roadmaps

Own pricing strategy and promotional architecture, ensuring clear price hierarchies and disciplined discounting to protect gross margin while driving volume growth

Monitor and act on trading performance weekly, using sales, cancellation, return and margin data to refine SKU selection, adjust intake and drive continuous optimisation

Oversee end-to-end product delivery performance, partnering with Purchasing and Supply functions to improve OTIF, lead time reliability and aftersales performance

Drive cost engineering initiatives, working with factories and suppliers to optimise materials, packaging, logistics and specification efficiencies

Embed customer insight within category workflows, challenging assumptions and ensuring buying decisions are data-informed rather than opinion-led

Build and maintain a live supply base strategy, focused on long-term resilience, margin improvement, geopolitical risk mitigation and sourcing optimisation

Own critical path governance, ensuring disciplined launch planning, early risk identification and cross-functional alignment to hit key commercial launch windows

Lead and develop Buyers and Buying Assistants, setting clear commercial KPIs, providing regular performance feedback, and building capability in negotiation, data literacy and strategic thinking

Represent the category at senior leadership level, presenting structured plans, risk assessments and performance updates with clarity and commercial rigour

Continuously improve team processes and data integrity, ensuring accurate reporting, streamlined workflows and scalable operating standards
