This Junior Buyer role brings real ownership. You will lead and develop an Assistant Buyer while taking responsibility for delivering the branded home accessories category, working with some of the biggest homeware brands in the market and hitting key trading milestones.
Working closely with the Buying Manager, you will play a key part in shaping the category strategy and how it supports the wider retail vision. The Home team has gone from strength to strength, built on brilliant brand partnerships and a collaborative way of working. But there is still scope to deliver more, so this role needs someone self-motivated and driven to land constant improvements on the category, to ensure we are giving our customers the best offer possible.
Developing your team is important here but so is your own growth. You will regularly step in for the Buying Manger in leadership forums, making this a brilliant opportunity for an established Junior Buyer ready to stretch and step up, particularly with experience in Home.
