Expected duration: Ongoing Responsible for our Designer galleries, you’ll source both new brands and products.
A keen negotiator, you’ll make sure that we never pay over the odds for new stock - perhaps you’ll even be able to engineer trade discounts or markdowns. Either way, you’ll ensure that all buying decisions are based on a sound commercial framework and have the capacity to drive sales and profits.
Working closely with the Merchandiser, you’ll review the performance of both new and existing brands and make recommendations to the Buying Manager where necessary. On top of that, you’ll also work with departments including Visual Merchandising, PR and Marketing to make the most of any promotional opportunities that crop up.
The Ideal Candidate With a solid understanding of the luxury market, you’ll be able to apply your commercial know-how to sourcing the hottest new brands and products. Numerate and personable, negotiating deals with suppliers will be a breeze, and your creative flair will help you work successfully with marketing to launch new products and brands. If you can add to that a good knowledge of PC systems, a can-do attitude and excellent communication skills, then this role could really see you improve our customers’ shopping experience – not to mention our profits.
