Senior Buyer

Senior Buyer | Home & Interiors | Yorkshire | £50,000 - £65,000 | Hybrid (4:1)
For the trend-obsessed, first-to-market, hands-on "do-er".
Fashion or homewear Experience is desired.

We're looking for a Senior Buyer who lives and breathes product. Someone who gets excited about trends before they even hit the high street and loves discovering what's next, whilst leading with confidence to move fast and make things happen!

If you're the kind of person who thrives in a fast-paced, no-red-tape environment, where ideas turn into product quickly, then this is your place.

We want a commercial, innovative, sleeves-rolled-up Senior Buyer who's ready to shape the Home & Interiors categories and take them somewhere exciting.

This role is all about creating trend-led, aspirational, "I need that now" product whilst owning the strategy, sourcing, development and trading of your categories to deliver real commercial results for an impressive business turning over, more than £200m a year.

What You'll Be Doing:

Leading your categories with vision, pace and curiosity!

Deliver sales and profit by sourcing and developing a curated, on-trend product offer that captures exactly what the customer wants.

Grow existing categories while spotting fresh opportunities to drive newness and incremental revenue.

Make confident commercial calls that drive availability, conversion and category performance.

Build global supplier relationships, negotiating strong terms and identifying new partners who bring innovation and value.

Lead product development; making sure that your ranges feel fresh, relevant and perfectly timed to market.

Ensure all product information and data is accurate and up to date across systems.

Owning the range like it's your own business!

Set the category mix, pricing architecture and overall range strategy with a customer-centric mindset.

Jump on aged stock challenges quickly to keep things lean and commercially healthy.

Manage returns and damages, working with QA and suppliers to constantly improve quality and experience.

Have a strong eye for style and detail, bringing products to life with creative flair - especially online.

Actively research the market, competitor landscape, influencers, and wider trend movements to stay one step ahead.

Who You Are:

A passionate Senior Buyer (or a strong Buyer ready for the next step) with a love for Homes, Interiors and all things product.

Trend-savvy, commercially sharp, and always looking for the next big moment.

Experienced in an eCommerce / online trading environment.

A natural negotiator with strong global sourcing knowledge, particularly Far East;
Eastern Europe is a bonus.

Highly organised, analytical, and confident handling range building, pricing and trading decisions.

Comfortable in a fast-paced, ever-changing environment where you can really make your mark.

A people developer who enjoys coaching, supporting and lifting others up.

Support, develop and empower your team through clear objectives and hands-on coaching.

Create a positive, collaborative, high-performing environment where people feel energised and excited.

A collaborative communicator who loves working cross-functionally and building positive relationships.

Ambitious, upbeat, solutions-focused and someone who genuinely wants to push their career forward.

Be prepared to get stuck in.

Be a "do-er". Be entrepreneurial. Be brave enough to try new things and test the market.
