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.

Own the product lifecycle and new product roadmap, ensuring successful product launches
Source new beds, mattresses, and bedroom furniture in line with wider business objectives
Grow the business's own-brand offering — a key strategic priority
Provide input into in-store merchandising and product selection to maximise in-store sell-through
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
