The products on our shelves start with your decisions.

Every day, millions of customers trust B&Q to improve, repair and transform their homes. As a Buying Manager, you'll decide what they discover next—shaping category strategy, influencing investment and bringing market-leading ranges to life.

This is your opportunity to shape significant categories, bring innovative products to market, work with industry-leading suppliers and influence what customers see in stores and online. Every decision you make will help customers create homes they can be proud of.

Why B&Q?

This is the kind of buying role where your decisions don't disappear into spreadsheets—they appear on shelves, online and in homes across the UK.

You'll own a significant category, balancing customer insight, market trends, supplier innovation and commercial performance to create compelling propositions that customers love and competitors notice.

You'll have the autonomy to make bold commercial decisions, backed by leaders who trust expertise, encourage challenge and value fresh thinking.

If you're motivated by ownership, pace and seeing the impact of your decisions at scale, you'll thrive here.

Why Now?

B&Q is investing in its future—transforming categories, strengthening supplier partnerships and evolving how customers shop across stores and digital channels.

Deliver sustainable sales growth, improved profitability and market-leading customer propositions

Build strategic supplier partnerships that unlock innovation, value and long-term growth

Lead high-value negotiations with key suppliers to secure outstanding commercial outcomes

Turn customer insight, market trends and data into commercial decisions that outperform competitors

Identify where B&Q can lead the market—anticipating trends, creating competitive advantage and delivering sustainable long-term growth

Challenge established thinking and bring innovative products to market

Influence senior stakeholders across Commercial, Supply Chain, Digital and Marketing functions

Build, coach and develop a high-performing buying team, creating future commercial leaders

You'll Be Successful In This Role If You Have

Significant experience leading complex buying or category strategies within a retail or commercial environment
Strong commercial judgement supported by customer insight and data-led decision making
A proven track record of delivering sales growth, margin improvement and commercial performance
Confidence influencing and negotiating at a senior level
Experience developing high-performing teams and future talent
The ability to balance strategic thinking with operational delivery
The confidence to challenge thinking, drive change and influence decisions across the wider business

Most importantly, you'll be someone who enjoys ownership, thrives on complexity and is motivated by turning strategy into measurable results.
