Trainee Buyer

2 months ago


Leicester, Leicester, United Kingdom NEXT Full time
Job Title: Trainee Buyer

Join NEXT as a Trainee Buyer and embark on a dynamic career journey in the fashion industry. As a Trainee Buyer, you will be responsible for developing an understanding of the product development process, sourcing the right materials, negotiating the best cost, and approving colour, fabric, and fit for production.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Develop an understanding of the product development process, including sourcing materials and negotiating costs.
  • Liaise with suppliers from Europe to the Far East to track samples for selection meetings and production.
  • Prepare garments/accessories for selection meetings, trade meetings, and online photoshoots.
  • Have an awareness of key fashion and market trends by gaining inspiration from a variety of sources.
  • Use your knowledge of relevant trends to find new product initiatives that you believe are missing from the department's current product offering.
  • Conduct competitor shop analysis and present findings back to your team to gain an understanding of where NEXT sits in the market.
  • Maintain accurate buying systems.
  • Work closely with the trainee merchandiser to analyse daily best/worst sellers and make recommendations.
  • Maintain an organised department - sample storage and approval library.
The Scheme:

You will start your month-long training programme on one of our 'Product' teams - Womenswear, Menswear, Childrenswear, Home, or on our Brands team (who work with a portfolio of over 750 brands).

With support from your team, you will learn the skills required to progress within our Buying function. Responsibility comes early, and you will be looking after millions of pounds worth of stock from day one.

You will receive regular feedback from your Buying team who will coach and develop you throughout the scheme, supporting you in reaching your goals.

Once you are ready to take the next step, you will be promoted to Assistant Buyer.

About You:

We are looking for someone who is not just a great communicator but a relationship builder, someone who can effortlessly connect with both colleagues and clients.

Your analytical skills are sharp; you live and breathe fashion and are able to present your ideas in a clear and compelling way.

In our bustling workplace, your approachable nature and team spirit make you a go-to person, fostering collaboration and positivity.

You're driven and decisive, confident when presenting, always aiming to make a meaningful impact.

Your Team:

It's all about collaboration and great teamwork. You will be working alongside our Merchandisers and Designers on tasks from sourcing materials and even conducting competitor analysis to influence what our NEXT product ranges look like.

You will learn to trade those ranges, reacting to what our customers are telling us they love.

If placed within an own-brand team, you will be involved in product development activities, or if you go into a branded team, you will work with an exciting selection of external brands.

Your Benefits:
  • Profit-related bonus.
  • 25 days holiday and the opportunity to buy more.
  • Contributions into a pension scheme.
  • Life assurance.
  • Sharesave scheme, which allows you to invest in NEXT and claim your share of our success.
  • A fantastic restaurant, coffees shops, and juice bar.
  • Staff shop.
  • Free parking on-site, including car sharing.
  • Free company bus service to and from Leicester city centre and other areas.
  • 25% staff discount on most NEXT products - either in our stores or delivered directly to your desk.
  • On-site nursery (salary sacrifice scheme) in Leicester.
  • National and local discounts on goods and services.
  • A digital GP healthcare service.
