London, United Kingdom Moonpig Full time

We believe that most of us do our best work when we work together, but we know that everyone works in different ways, and quite frankly, has other commitments and responsibilities outside of work.

As we further adjust to hybrid working, we want to take what we've learnt from working remotely and keep the flexibility that's enabled us to thrive and keep driving our business forward.

We have some core principles which support us in this:

Do what’s right

Trust & give permission

Delivery matters

We understand ways of working can look different based on your role, team and you as an individual so we are here to support and discuss this with you during the interview process.

About the role

As an Assistant Buyer, within our UK Commercial team reporting into the Buying Manager, you will play a critical role as you will be responsible for sourcing, negotiating, and managing supplier relationships to ensure a seamless flow of products that meet our quality and commercial standards. As a data-driven Assistant Buyer, with exceptional commercial acumen, you will play a pivotal role in developing the Moonpig gifing range.

What You’ll Be Doing
  • Identify and evaluate market opportunities for our existing range 
  • Develop new and innovative gifting propositions for the UK market
  • Influence the product road map with developments that enhance the UK gifting offer
  • Work with marketing, sales, and operations teams to drive growth
  • Develop and implement pricing strategies
  • Analyse market data and trends
  • Stay up-to-date on industry news and developments
  • Represent Moonpig UK at trade shows and industry events
  • Work closely with other Buyers to deliver a strategic and cohesive non-card vision
Skills we are looking for
  • Previous experience in a commercial team in a tech led business
  • Proven ability to deliver growth through range 
  • Experience working across innovation categories
  • Strong analytical and strategic skills
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills
  • Proven ability to work independently and as part of a team
  • Ability to work under pressure and meet deadlines
About you
  • You should have proven and relevant experience within a buying/commercial team preferably in the e-commerce, retail, or gifting industry.
  • You should have exceptional data analysis skills with the ability to extract meaningful insights from complex datasets.
  • You should have strong negotiation skills and the ability to influence suppliers to achieve favourable terms.
  • You should have excellent commercial acumen with a deep understanding of market dynamics, pricing, and cost structures.
  • You should have outstanding communication and interpersonal skills to effectively collaborate with internal teams and external suppliers.
  • You should have strong attention to detail, organisation, and time management skills.
  • You should be adaptable, and comfortable working in a fast-paced, dynamic environment with changing priorities, having the ability to navigate ambiguity and make informed decisions based on available data and insights.
