Description
We are Disturbia; a fast-growing, independent UK fashion brand specialising in alternative & sub-culture fashion, with an aim to harness the spirit of authenticity and individuality.
Our story is about evolving and disrupting the ordinary. Founded in 2003 by creative graduates Frank and Helen, we look to disturb the suburbs with authentically unconventional attire for those drawn to the strange and unusual. Disturbia has since amassed a devoted following worldwide, attracting musicians, artists, and free spirits alike.
Over 20 years later, we are an ever-growing team across offices in Northumberland (HQ) and East London. Our in-house team of creatives, do-ers, dreamers, and makers work collaboratively to create unique products and deliver an exceptional customer experience for those who dare to stand out from the crowd.
The Role
As Disturbia continues to grow, the need has arisen to hire a Buying Admin Assistant.
This is an entry-level buying position, which acts as a support role on specific buying categories. You will work on multiple product categories; supporting the system admin, sample admin, and supplier management. You will work closely with the Assistant Buyers and Buyers and other product-focused departments.
