Buyer - Nuts

Fancy working for Morrisons? We've got an incredible opportunity that doesn't come around every day for a Buyer to be based 4 days a week at our Head Office in Bradford.

Proud of our roots, we've got a great story to tell and can look forward to a fantastic future which you can be a part of

Our trading teams are key to our success and we are looking for a commercial Buyer to join our busy, fast-paced and dynamic teams.

We are on the hunt for traders and future traders to join our fruit and nut category specialising in nuts, and would love to hear from anyone with relevant experience.

The Buyer will assist the Buying Manager/Senior Buying Manager in planning, sourcing, selecting and negotiating a commercial and competitively priced product range across all channels, whilst maximising sales and margin for the department.

Our commercial teams decide what we sell and at what price. We source great products for our customers and negotiate deals with suppliers. And we look for the best local produce, tracking down products around the world to meet constantly changing tastes. Own brands. Value brands. Global brands. We take great pride in them all.

Not only are we the second largest manufacturer of fresh food in the UK, but we also ensure our traceability, in particular our meat products, to show it is ethically sourced, from which region of the UK and by whom, to help us paint a full picture for our customers from farm-to-fork.

You'll help to deliver exceptional, customer-led ranges which drive sales and margin across a specific category.

You will build on the capability of our Buying team by engaging with different teams across the business to translate customer buying insights into competitive customer propositions, ensuring quality and value.

In return for your hard work, you'll get a great pension, private healthcare (applicable roles), 15% colleague discount and 10% for 2 friends/family, money off at over 850 retailers with My Perks, and much more.

You will be responsible for:

• Maximising sales and profit in line with the budget plan
• Regular competitor analysis including range, visual merchandising and price benchmarking
• Market data analysis
• Developing strong, collaborative relationships with suppliers
• Deliver a customer relevant, commercially sound range
• Managing the critical path, engaging all key stakeholders to ensure smooth running of the development process and on time delivery of ranges to store
• Constantly reviewing sales and identifying opportunities for category growth
