About The Role

We're looking for a highly credible Buyer with strong experience of leading an FMCG retail category to join our Commercial team. Based at our Customer Support Centre in Walsall, this is a hybrid role, offering a mix of office and home working.

As a Buyer, you'll work closely with our Senior Buyer to deliver strong commercial performance across a food FMCG retail category. You'll ensured our customers can find the right products at the right price.

Holidays, 33 days a year inc banks.
Single private medical cover.
Annual bonus scheme, with the opportunity to earn up to 15% of your base salary.
Car allowance of £500 per month.
Free parking onsite.
Pension scheme for your future, with up to 5% employer matched contributions.
We put wellbeing first through our partnership with Retail Trust which gives you and your family access to a fantastic range of resources.
