About Us

The Role

This is a pivotal role in the business. You'll shape our buying strategy, optimise stockholding, drive down cost of goods through skilled supplier negotiation, and own the product lifecycle from sourcing through to launch. You'll play a key part in growing our own-brand offering — one of our top strategic priorities — while leading a small team of planning and purchasing professionals.

Lead, coach, and develop a team of 2 Planning and Purchasing professionals
Work closely with Marketing/Merchandising on new product launches
Work with Warehouse teams to ensure effective planning of stock flow through the business
Work closely with the Directors, incorporating their input into product strategy

About You

3-5 years' experience in Procurement/Buying at manager level, ideally within furniture, beds, or a related category
Proven people management experience
Strong supplier negotiation and contract management skills
Comfortable working cross-functionally with Marketing, Warehouse/Logistics, and Sales/Customer Service teams
Strong commercial awareness, with the ability to influence both internal and external stakeholders
