What Will I Be Doing?
As Junior Accessories Buyer - Womenswear, you'll be joining a fast-growing fashion team. This is a permanent, full-time opportunity to take ownership of a dynamic and high-value category, helping to shape a trend-led, commercially successful range of women's accessories.
You'll be responsible for managing a multi-million-pound product category, working from concept to delivery. Your day-to-day will involve analysing trade reports, sourcing new products, and reacting to customer insights to ensure the range exceeds expectations and drives profitability.
Expect to work closely with both internal teams and external suppliers to manage everything from product development and critical paths to quality control and timely delivery. You'll also contribute to strategic reviews, trend research, and planning sessions to constantly evolve the offering.
Key tasks will include:
* Managing your product area as an independent profit centre.
* Bringing creative, trend-aware ideas into the category.
* Conducting sales analysis, line reviews and end-of-season hindsight reviews.
* Collaborating with suppliers to maintain high standards and product innovation.
* Ensuring products meet brand standards and hit key delivery windows.
What Do I Need?
Ideally, you'll have buying experience in accessories, womenswear, or fashion retail, either as a Junior Buyer or an experienced Assistant Buyer ready to step up.
You'll also need to be:
* Passionate about fashion and product trends.
* Confident analysing sales, margin, and customer data to inform decisions.
* Skilled in negotiation and supplier management.
* Highly organised and adaptable in a fast-paced retail environment.
* Commercially astute with a good eye for product development and innovation.
A relevant degree (fashion, buying, business, etc.) is a plus but not essential if you have the experience and passion to back it up.
