Graduate Buyer Role

This is a graduate role for someone fresh out of university who wants to start a career in buying. No prior buying experience is needed - a placement year is preferable, but what matters most is that you're product-obsessed and eager to learn. You'll get exposure to all areas of buying, with some merchandising too, building a well-rounded foundation for a product-focused career. This is an on-site, fully office-based role.

What you’ll do…

• Help manage the critical path from initial brief through to product launch, flagging updates and risks in weekly meetings.
• Track technical assessments and approvals, liaising with suppliers to keep everything on time.
• Liaise with suppliers to gather product data & other required information.
• Support the smooth running of orders from product set up, on-time order placement, submission of order assets to suppliers & reviewing inspection reports.
• Coordinate and track product samples throughout the process.
• Keep all relevant product information up to date across our internal systems.
• Support the Buyer in creating accurate, market-leading website listings.
• Complete regular benchmarking exercises to support the buying range building process.
• Build a understanding of product performance.
• Provide support to the merchandising team.
• Build your product knowledge and be a general support across the buying & merchandising team - turning your hand to a range of tasks to build a strong foundation for progression.
