Assistant Buyer or Buying Admin Assistant — Take Your Skills Somewhere New

Fashion, Premium & Lifestyle | Fully Remote (within 1 hour of London)

You've learnt your trade in a buying office. You know how to juggle critical paths, chase suppliers, manage samples, keep systems immaculate and stay calm when everything lands at once. You understand product, you understand people, and you understand pace.

Now imagine putting all of that to work in a dynamic, fully remote role — one that keeps you at the heart of the fashion and lifestyle industry, but opens up a completely fresh career path.

This is an opportunity for an ambitious Assistant Buyer or Buying Admin Assistant who's ready to step out of the traditional buying route and use their skillset in a new way. The organisation, the communication, the relationship management, the commercial awareness — everything you've developed transfers directly. What changes is the ceiling on where it can take you.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
