Assistant Buyer – Argos

Why join us

Our Buying team is at the heart of delivering great value and choice for our customers. You’ll be part of a fast-paced, commercially driven environment where decisions are made quickly and your impact is clear.

We work flexibly, balancing time in the office with working from home, so you can do your best work in a way that suits you. As an Assistant Buyer, you’ll support across a diverse and dynamic product range, helping shape offers that land well with customers and drive performance.

What you’ll do

You’ll support the delivery of category plans that offer customers the right products at the right price. Working closely with your Buyer, you’ll help build and execute promotional plans, ensuring pricing is accurate and competitive across all channels.

You’ll build strong relationships with suppliers and brands, working collaboratively to deliver a compelling customer offer. A key part of the role will involve negotiating supplier funding to support promotions and drive sales and margin performance.

You’ll play a hands-on role in analysing performance, identifying opportunities, and supporting range optimisation. Day to day, you’ll manage key processes, maintain accurate data, and keep activity on track in a fast-moving environment.

Who you are

You’re an Assistant Buyer with a strong understanding of retail and what drives product performance. You’re confident working with data, using insight to support decisions that improve sales and profit.

You’re comfortable building relationships with suppliers and brands, and have experience supporting negotiations, including funding discussions. You’re organised, detail-focused, and able to manage multiple priorities at pace.

Most importantly, you’re commercially curious, proactive, and motivated to deliver great outcomes for customers.

Essential criteria

Experience working in a Buying or Assistant Buying role
Understanding of key commercial KPIs (e.g. sales, margin, profit)
Intermediate Excel skills (including VLOOKUPs and pivot tables)
Strong attention to detail and accuracy
Ability to prioritise effectively in a fast-paced environment
Confident working with multiple stakeholders
Clear and effective communication skills
Flexibility to work hybrid (Store Support Centre + home)

We are committed to being a truly inclusive retailer, so you’ll be welcomed whoever you are and wherever you work. Around here, there’s always the chance to try something new-whether that’s as part of an evolving team or somewhere else across the business - and we take development seriously and promise to support you. We also recognise and celebrate colleagues when they go the extra mile and, where possible, offer flexible working. When you join our team, we’ll also offer you an amazing range of benefits. Here are some of them: Starting off with colleague discount, you'll be able to get 10% off at Sainsbury's, Argos, TU and Habitat after 4 weeks. This increases to 15% off at Sainsbury’s every Friday and Saturday and 15% off at Argos every pay day. We've also got you covered for your future with our pensions scheme and life cover. You'll also be able to share in our success as you may be eligible for a performance-related bonus of up to 5% of salary, depending on how we perform. Your wellbeing is important to us too. You'll receive an annual holiday allowance, and you can buy additional holiday. We also offer other benefits that will help your money go further such as season ticket loans, cycle to work scheme, health cash plans, pay advance (where you can access some of your pay before pay day) as well access to a great range of discounts from hundreds of other retailers. And if you ever need it there is also an employee assistance programme. Moments that matter are as important to us as they are to you which is why we give up to 26 weeks’ pay for maternity or adoption leave and up to 4 weeks’ pay for paternity leave. Please see www.sainsburys.jobs for a range of our benefits (note, length of service and eligibility criteria may apply).Please note, due to the volume of applications we receive, our roles may close early.
