London, United Kingdom QVC Full time

Thank you for your interest in joining our team Qurate Retail Group comprises seven leading retail brands - QVC®, HSN®, Zulily®, Ballard Designs®, Frontgate®, Garnet Hill® and Grandin Road® - all dedicated to providing a more human way to shop. Qurate Retail Group is the largest player in video commerce (“vCommerce”), which includes video-driven shopping across linear TV, ecommerce sites, digital streaming and social platforms.

**Assistant Buyer - Beauty 6 months FTC**

**The Opportunity**

**As an Assistant Buyer at QVC, you’ll be**

At the heart of a very different approach to retail. We sell on TV, not in store, and that makes life so much more dynamic. If you’re used to planning how much you’ll sell in a week, with us you’ll plan for the next ten minutes.

Reporting to the Buying manager and working closely with the Junior Buyer and Buyer, you’ll be responsible for a critical path that takes products from vendors to the studio floor. You’ll work with everyone on that path to ensure each product is presented in the right way, and you’ll respond in real-time to what’s happening online and on screen. We believe there’s no more exciting place to be an Assistant Buyer.

**Who We Are**

You know QVC. But you might not know how we’ve changed. Part of the Qurate Retail Group, we’re the world’s biggest broadcaster-retailer and the one of the worlds largest online retailers. We’re on a mission to enrich life’s everyday moments for the customers we serve.

We do that by selling exciting brands—from Apple and Dyson to Elemis and Skechers—in exciting ways, across electronics, fashion, home, garden and more. Beauty bloggers often call us their go-to little secret.

You can be your authentic self at QVC. While every organisation says it supports inclusivity and diversity we _really_ mean it. You’ll see that in what we do—for example, we’re advocating for modest fashion right now— and you’ll see it in who we are, because respect and wellbeing run through our veins, from our groups supporting gender, ethnicity, disability, race and LGBTQIA+ to our Frazzled Café meets and our menopause friendliness.

No matter what role you’re in, when you share your ideas, you’ll always be listened to and always be valued.

It’s surprising. It’s rewarding. It’s a lot of fun and it’s so you. We’d love you to be part of it.

**Your Impact**
- You will provide creative and administrative support to the Junior Buyer and Buyer in developing product ranges to meet sales, margin and stock targets within a specific product/category area.
- You will work with top brands in helping us always improve and grow our range.
- Gain experience of the buying process, working with the Junior Buyer and Buyer.
- Manage category-related administrative processes time-sensitive to the business.
- Collate and present product and sales information, trend packs and mood boards, including preparing for the day’s strategic meetings.
- Produce range review packs, market reports and competitor shopping analysis, and bring suggestions of new ideas/products to the team.

**What You Bring**

You’ve already had experience within a head office buying environment, at BAA or Assistant Buyer level. Trend aware, you’ll have experience in managing a critical path, be able to partner with suppliers and have the sort of deep product understanding that allow you to prepare guest presenters before a live show. At QVC, we welcome ideas, so the ability to think entrepreneurially and put your hand up when there’s an opportunity to get involved in a new project will be valuable. You’ll also need good PC (Microsoft Word and Excel (can maintain complex spreadsheets)). If you can bring all that, there’s a clear path for you to progress and develop, and we’ll help you on the way. **It’s so you **If you could be our next Assistant Buyer, we want to hear from you.
