Assistant Buying Manager

Birmingham, United Kingdom Zachary Daniels Recruitment Full time
Direct Sourcing offers unparalleled cost-efficiency when Buying from offshore suppliers. By leveraging internal capabilities, organizations can circumvent third-party fees, optimizing profit margins. With direct communication, visibility, and control over the entire Supply Chain, the advantages are undeniable. While the Far East has traditionally been the go-to for sourcing, mounting cost inflation has spotlighted the appeal of Buying options closer to home, in Europe and Turkey.

We're on the lookout for proactive individuals to explore untapped supplier potential within our client's Buying domain. Your mission will involve crafting compelling commercial offers from factories that uphold rigorous technical and ethical standards. Working closely with Category Buying, Quality, and Supply teams, you'll seize opportunities to bolster margins and meet customer demands.

Under the guidance of the Buying Manager and in collaboration with Sourcing and Buying Directors, you'll serve as the linchpin for all sourcing-related activities between our client and our Buying Alliance partners.

Ideal candidates will embody:

Resilience and a self-starting mentality
Strategic prowess to align Buying strategies with global objectives
Commercial savvy to identify and nurture opportunities
Strong negotiation skills and a customer-centric approach
Familiarity with retail buying processes and product launch cycles
Flexibility to travel frequently for exhibitions and supplier visits
Exceptional communication, presentation, and analytical skills
Ability to cultivate robust relationships with external suppliers and cross-functional teams
Cultural adaptability in navigating international business landscapes

If you're eager to drive profitability and innovation within a dynamic retail environment, seize this opportunity and embark on an exciting journey in Buying with our client
