The Role
We are looking for a different kind of fashion buyer...
You could be a seasoned buyer who’s been there, done that and looking for a new challenge. Or maybe you’re a product-savvy merchandiser who wants to get closer to the product.
This role is for the buyer or merchandiser who wants their next move to mean something. Our team is creative, collaborative, and allergic to the corporate rulebook.
You’re obsessed with how product comes to life. You notice fabric quality and silhouette before price point. You have a sixth sense for what’s next and thrive in a fast-paced growing team.

* Collaborate with the trading and marketing teams to identify and implement strategies that maximise sales performance and market impact.
* Manage the Product admin assistant to ensure product creation and attribution are correct.
* Monitor sales performance, adjust buying strategies, and react to customer demand.
* Have a strong commercial eye and understand the brand's vision to support business growth.
Requirements
* Proven experience as a Buyer, Merchandiser or Account manager in fashion retail (3+ years).
* A creative eye, commercial instinct, and a love for elevated product.
* Strong understanding of fashion trends, fabrics, and garment construction.
* Excellent communication, analytical skills, and attention to detail.
