About the Role
TALA, known for activewear that keeps up with busy lifestyles, has been on a rocket ship since its founding in 2019 by entrepreneur Grace Beverley. Powered by a highly engaged, largely organic social community, we’ve evolved into a digital‑first, multichannel women’s athleisure brand with a sophisticated growth and retention engine. In 2025, we accelerated our physical retail expansion with the opening of two London stores, Carnaby Street and Westfield White City, marking a major step in our long‑term brand and community strategy.
We are looking for a BAA to join our product team. It’s an amazing opportunity for an established BAA to work across multiple product categories, inclusive of Apparel and Non Apparel. You will report directly to the Junior Buyer and work closely with the Buying Manager, Design, Garment Technology, Merchandising and Marketing.

- Raising SKU’s and Purchase orders, amending orders where required
- Manage the tracking and administration of supplier quotations and open cost sheets, maintaining pricing accuracy and escalating delays or discrepancies to the Buying team where required
