  • Building successful working relationships with your team and Brand partners.
  • Planning and reviewing capacity, production, and fabric reservations
  • Analyse sales and trend data, ensuring your department, in collaboration with the Brands, is buying the right collection in the appropriate quantities.
  • Accurately maintaining merchandise systems so supplier contracts are confirmed on time, and sizing, forecast sales, returns rate, component lead times, trigger dates and intake phasing are all correct
  • Guiding trainees through their development programme, and managing their daily tasks and activities
  • Controlling spend by managing trigger dates, reviewing open to buy, backing fabric and capacity, reviewing ranking to optimise sales, and always keeping one eye on critical cut date
  • Monitoring in-season performance and taking action to maximise profitability and improve sales 
  • Manage and coordinate orders from our branded partners
  • Negotiate the best delivery dates
  • Overcome the challenges of small average line buys
  • Trade the department managing spend whilst maximising opportunities
  • PROFIT - The key to everything we do and every decision we make

You’ll be doing all this from our London office. A fast-paced, encouraging and supportive environment where we never underestimate what we can do. So bring your energy, play to your strengths and never shy away from change. Push yourself, and back others. And make things happen that will be bigger and better than before.

So if you’re customer-focused, self-motivated, driven and organised, have a keen eye for detail and know how important strong communication is to successful teamwork, this is the place the for you – and your career.
