Working Pattern:

The Role

With our online business constantly growing, our Assistant Buyers have a joint venture to support in creating attractive and profitable product ranges across the business. They work closely with our Designers, Merchandisers and Technologists to create stylish new collections for every season.

You’ll be joining the Buying team within Menswear, offering them key support for the buying, developing and reviewing of seasonal ranges. You’ll have key responsibilities at every stage of the process, starting from helping Buyers to formulate proposals for range restructure – considering everything from market opportunities to new trends.

You’ll help to develop and plan commercially successful ranges, taking into account sales data, price architecture and brand DNA. As well as communicating design briefs and considering various issues such as price, quality and lead times. Analyse sales data and trends, acting quickly to identify new opportunities. You’ll also plan and manage any necessary meetings to ensure issues are quickly identified and resolved.

You’ll be responsible for accurately maintaining progress systems and ensuring critical dates and deadlines are met. You’ll also build productive relationships with external suppliers as well as provide support and development opportunities to Trainees in your team.

You’ll be doing all this from our Leicestershire Head Office… A fast-paced, encouraging and inspiring environment where we never underestimate what we can do.

So bring your energy, play to your strengths and never shy away from change. Push yourself, and back others. And make things happen that will be bigger and better than before. If you’re customer-focused, self-motivated and organised, have a keen eye for detail and an investigative mind, and can’t wait to start building relationships, this is the place for you – and your career.

With our online business constantly growing, Total Platform continuing to strengthen and our retail stores remaining distinguished for our customer base, our buyers have a big responsibility to create attractive and profitable product ranges across the business. They collaborate with our Designers, Merchandisers and Technologists to put together stylish new collections for every season.

What You’ll Take On

This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Assistant Buyer to join the team, with a particular focus on Menswear. This role will be a platform for an experienced, self motivated Assistant Buyer to embrace the challenge of starting and nurturing a successful and very fast paced department from the start. You will be responsible for planning and buying the product, delivering agreed KPIs for sales, markdown and profit.

You should ideally be an experienced assistant buyer with strong analytical and planning skills . You should be able to easily identify the latest trends for this category and have a comprehensive understanding of the market competition.

An in-depth knowledge of our industry is essential. A proven track record in identifying opportunities to streamline the critical path and trade ranges in-season is crucial. Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, are necessary for effective collaboration. An enthusiastic attitude and a team-player mindset are valued attributes in this role. We would ideally like to bring in an Assistant Buyer with expert knowledge in this industry.
