About the Role
Our Client is looking for an experienced and commercially minded E-Commerce Menswear Buyer to join their growing fashion business.
This is a fast-paced DTC/e-commerce buying role, not a traditional high-street retail buying position. You’ll help decide what products to launch, how much to buy, and why — using both strong menswear product instinct and commercial data.
You must be able to work from our Preston office 2–3 days per week, as the role involves reviewing physical samples, fabrics, fits and colours with the wider team.
Key Responsibilities
- Build and develop menswear ranges across multiple brands and niches.
- Plan monthly product drops and determine buy quantities.
- Decide which products, colours, fits and categories to launch.
- Analyse sell-through, stock cover, margin, product velocity, returns and size curves.
- Identify winning products, underperformers and opportunities for repeat buys.
- Use historical sales performance to influence future buying decisions.
- Monitor menswear trends, competitors and changing customer behaviour.
- Identify gaps and opportunities within existing ranges.
- Review and fit physical samples, assessing fabrics, colours and silhouettes.
- Work closely with product, merchandising, marketing and management teams.
- Manage multiple brands, categories and customer segments simultaneously.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Requirements

- Strong commercial and analytical ability.
- Excellent understanding of sell-through, stock cover, margin, inventory and product velocity.
- Strong Excel/spreadsheet skills.
- Experience working in fast fashion, DTC or an environment with frequent product drops.
- Ability to make data-driven buying decisions and quickly identify winners and losers.
- Highly organised, commercially minded and comfortable working at speed.
- Able to take ownership and work across multiple brands and niches.
- Must live within a realistic commuting distance of Preston and be available to work in the office 2–3 days per week.
