As part of the dynamic head office team, you''ll play a hands-on role in creating commercially successful ranges, driving product development, and spotting opportunities to push the brand forward.

What you''ll be doing as an Assistant Buyer:

• Driving trend-led, commercial product ranges by reviewing the market, analysing competitors, and spotting gaps for growth.

• Leading elements of range builds, sign-offs, and product selection, taking full ownership of your category.

• Building strong supplier relationships to ensure product quality, value, and timely launches.

• Preparing and presenting trade performance updates, offering solutions and new ideas to drive results.

• Collaborating with Merchandising, QA, and Garment Tech on range strategy, trade actions, and weekly fit sessions.

• Supporting campaign activity by partnering with Marketing, Web, and E-com teams to ensure launches and promotions land with impact.

• Coordinating product copy, photography, and e-com assets to reflect each product accurately and ensure a best-in-class online presentation.

• Managing all buying administration, from sample rooms to systems, ensuring everything runs seamlessly.

What we''re looking for:

• A passionate, commercially-minded Assistant Buyer (or Senior BAA ready to step up) with a strong eye for fashion and product.

• Confident managing critical paths, supplier communications, and cross-functional projects.

• Organised, solutions-focused, and proactive, you thrive in a fast-paced, creative environment.

• Someone ambitious, hands-on, and ready to make an impact in a brand that''s going places.

This is more than just a buying role, it''s a chance to take ownership, have a voice in shaping ranges, and accelerate your career within a brand that''s both established and growing
