  • Strategic Growth: Build and execute category strategies that drive sales, margin, and market share.
  • Analytical Excellence: Use your commercial savvy to analyse customer data and ensure long-term category success.
  • End-to-End Ownership: Manage seasonal buys, margin planning, and inventory strategies to keep our Furnishing Fabric departments world-class.
  • Leadership: Lead and inspire your team to deliver results in a high-volume, fast-paced environment.

About You:

  • The Expertise: 3+ years of proven experience as a Retail Buyer, specifically with a background in Textiles, Fabrics, or Hard Goods.
  • Global Sourcing: Strong experience in product development and navigating overseas sourcing.
  • Commercial Mindset: A track record of achieving category growth and managing complex margins.
  • Technical Skills: Advanced Excel skills and a highly analytical approach to inventory.
  • The Drive: You are detail-oriented, solutions-driven, and thrive in a rapid retail rhythm.
