  • Analyse sales and market trends to make informed, in‑season trading decisions.
  • Support the launch of Men’s Accessories and Homewares, working with Design and cross‑functional teams to build new, brand‑aligned categories.
  • Assist in developing outlet product strategies that drive growth while maintaining brand integrity.
  • Partner with Marketing and VM to deliver compelling product storytelling across channels.
  • Provide regular feedback to Design and Production based on sales insights and customer feedback.
  • Manage samples, launch documentation, and track product changes from development to in‑store.
  • Facilitate quarterly sales reviews and contribute to category performance reporting.
  • Collaborate on special projects such as capsule collections, partnerships, and sustainability initiatives.
  • Contribute to a high‑performing team culture through open communication and ongoing improvement.

What we are looking for :

  • Tertiary qualifications in Fashion, Business, Merchandising, or a related field.
  • Proven experience in a buying or product development role within fashion, accessories, or lifestyle categories (2‑4 years ideal).
  • Strong commercial acumen – you can balance creativity and data to make strategic decisions.
  • Understanding of luxury or premium brand positioning and how to translate brand identity into product.
  • Highly organised with strong attention to detail and excellent follow‑through.
  • Skilled at analysing sales data, spotting trends, and identifying opportunities for growth.
  • Proactive, curious, and passionate about product, storytelling, and customer experience.
  • A collaborative team player with a positive attitude and growth mindset.
  • Benefits and Culture :

    In joining Oroton, you will be joining a group of talented, fun and supportive individuals who are all committed to their craft and to the enduring success of this Australian iconic brand. You will also enjoy :
