Are you passionate about beautiful products, commercially switched-on, and excited by the world of jewellery? This is your chance to join the UK’s leading specialist jeweller and help shape the future of our Diamond category for H. Samuel.
In this role, you’ll play a key part in developing and curating a stunning Diamond assortment that inspires our customers and drives performance.
Working closely with the Buyer, you’ll support end-to-end product development, analyse trends and trading performance, and help bring to life collections that feel fresh, relevant, and commercially strong. It’s an ideal opportunity for someone currently working as an Assistant Buyer or a Buyer’s Administrator who’s ready to step up and grow their career in a fast-paced, creative, and supportive environment.
About the Role

Key responsibilities include:
- Assisting in the sourcing, development, and selection of products in line with the department strategy.
- Reviewing sales and product performance to identify opportunities that drive sales and profitability.
- Preparing product information and analysis for range reviews, sign-offs, and business presentations.
- Managing product samples and ensuring on-time delivery.
- Building and maintaining strong supplier relationships, attending meetings, and supporting negotiations.
- Conducting competitive shops and preparing analysis on market and trend insights.
- Supporting product launches and promotional activity, ensuring accurate information reaches stores and internal teams.
- Supervising and coaching the Buyer’s Administrator, helping to develop their skills and knowledge.
