Birmingham, United Kingdom Zachary Daniels Full time

Head of Buying | Premium | Homewear | Circa £80,000 | Remote (UK Based) | 6 - 9 Month FTC This is a UK-based remote role. While the position offers full-time home working, applicants must be permanently based in the UK and have the right to work here. There will be occasional in-person meetings at our HQ or London showroom a few times a year, so proximity and flexibility for UK travel is essential. Overview This is a fast-growing, design-led furniture business turning heads in the UK homeware scene.

If you love stylish, contemporary design and thrive in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial culture this is your moment.

Execute Product Strategy: Play a central role in developing commercial, design-led assortments that balance style, price, and profitability across entry to premium price points. Build ranges that make sense holistically - products that ‘talk’ to each other and resonate with the customer. Trade Reactively & Proactively: Keep your finger on the pulse of market shifts and emerging trends, responding quickly to opportunities that drive commercial success. Financial Ownership: Take charge of margins, stock flow, sales targets, and market data, using strong commercial judgement to optimise profitability and deliver key business metrics. Performance Management: Analyse and manage product performance deeply, leading decisions around promotions, markdowns, and stock movements to maximise profit and reduce risk. People Leadership: Lead, inspire, and elevate a diverse buying team, fostering a culture of empowerment, collaboration, and high performance. Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with design, planning, QA and marketing to ensure every product launches seamlessly across all channels, including a well‑performing showroom. Focus on Buying, Not Technical Development: With exceptional product developers handling materials, sourcing, and creation across hardlines, homeware, and upholstery, your focus stays where it should; on commercial product selection, trading, and range architecture. What You’ll Bring Experienced People Manager: Proven success in developing high-performing teams with empathy, clarity, and motivation. Multi-Category Buying Expertise (Homewear): Strong experience working across varied product categories with a sharp understanding of global trends and fast-paced trading environments. Commercial & Financial Acumen: Confident, data-driven decision maker with deep understanding of stock, margin, and sales levers.
