Senior Buyer
Who We Are
Winedrops is the world's fastest-growing wine club. Our mission is to make great wine more affordable and easier to discover.
We have 50,000 members across the UK and US. This is an exciting opportunity to join our growing team, managing a large buying budget across multiple geographies with huge amounts of freedom and responsibility.
What You’ll Do
You’ll sit within our buying team, reporting to our Head of Buying, and own the hands-on work of securing great wines at great terms. Your responsibilities include:
- Building new producer and supplier relationships
- Hunting for exciting yet commercially sharp wines in the market
- Negotiating hard on price, terms, and exclusivity
- Growing our own-label and exclusive range—the strategic centre of our business
- Sourcing flagship brands, sought-after appellations, and highly rated wines that members want to buy
- Owning commercial outcomes of the wines you bring in, including margin, spend, sell-through, and stock health
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.
