Some of your responsibilities will include:
- Developing and delivering the category plan for a high spend, complex area
- Driving sales and profit through acting on our customer insight to deliver the right range and customer proposition
- Delivery of margin targets through negotiation and robust supplier plans
- Delivering our supplier promises (12 point charter) through continuously improving Supplier relationships and engagement with detailed supplier knowledge and regular supplier visits
- Using your market understanding of the category, including competitor insight to develop compelling category strategies
- Actively support and promote the high performance culture of the Buying team, including the support of personal and professional growth to encourage colleagues to be the best they can be
- Helping to deliver a great customer experience – helping them to buy
- Operating in full compliance with the Grocery Suppliers Code of Practice (GSCOP)
This role is based at our fantastic head office in Bradford. Boasting an on-site restaurant, coffee shop, convenience and sample store, prayer room, free parking and regular company-wide events and promotions. Ideally, applicants will live within a reasonable distance of our office.
About You
We’ve built an incredibly diverse business, and we’re working hard to make sure we truly represent the communities we serve. One of the best things about working with so many different people is having the opportunity to listen, learn and connect with lots of different views, perspectives and beliefs. For this role, we’re looking for someone who has:
- Track record as a Buying Manager/Senior Buyer in a similar environment
- A proven negotiator
- Proven experience of delivering category strategies in a complex, competitive market
- A strong customer centricity with a track record of putting the customer first
- Ability to work at pace, in a fast and flexible environment with drive, energy and enthusiasm
- Significant commercial understanding with an excellent analytical, problem-solving and decision making background
- Experience of building relationships at all levels to drive commercial benefits
- Experience of implementing and driving unified strategies in a complex business environment
About The Team
At Morrisons, we're the single biggest food manufacturer in the UK, and the only retailer to operate our own processing sites. Which means we're not just responsible for keeping our shelves stocked - we need to stock our manufacturing sites, too.
As a true one-of-a-kind business, we curate, arrange and buy everything from raw materials like flour and meat to the products our customers pop in for every day. We negotiate prices and make sure we're able to sell as much as we can. We look at product packaging and quality to help us decide where products will sit in our stores. And when you remember that each category is worth a percentage of our overall £12billion turnover from supermarket sales alone, the impact of each buying team is huge.
We work in embedded business teams, so our Buyers sit with their supply chain, finance and technical counterparts, working alongside each other to make decisions and take action quickly. We even have joint targets so that we're unified in our mission to serve our customers.
About The Company
- 15% colleague discount in our stores and online, plus 10% for two friends/family members
- Annual bonus scheme
- Generous holiday entitlement
- 4.5 day work week
