Full Time

Play a key role in shaping the future of a growing retail brand

We're looking for a commercially minded, highly motivated Buyer/Planner to join our fast-paced fashion retail team and play a critical role in our next stage of growth.

This role is perfect for someone who thrives in a hands-on environment, loves data and product in equal measure, and is ready to step into a pathway towards Senior Buyer/Planner. You'll work closely with our Head of Design, Planning, Buying & Production across seasonal planning, forecasting, buying, and stock optimisation — with genuine ownership and room to grow.

We're a multi-brand fashion retailer with a fast-growing in-house label, as well as a curated selection of external brands and stockhouse lines. This is a rare opportunity to work across both buying and planning in a role that's truly strategic, commercial, and influential.

Key Responsibilities

Planning & Forecasting

• Support seasonal and annual merchandise planning across internal and external categories.
• Build and maintain WSSI, OTB, and demand planning tools.
• Review stock flow and performance, making recommendations to optimise margin and manage risk.
• Lead replenishment strategies for core lines, ensuring bestsellers are never missed.

Buying – In-House & External

• Contribute to range architecture and seasonal buying for stockhouses and external indent brands.
• Manage purchase orders, deliveries, and style trackers with precision.
• Partner with suppliers to deliver on time, to margin, and with commercial outcomes in mind.
• Analyse weekly trade to identify opportunities and take fast, effective action on rebuys, markdowns, and demand.

Support & Growth

• Collaborate across production, VA, warehouse, and internal teams.
• Provide cover for the Head of Department when required, taking full ownership.
• Deep-dive into core categories and contribute to long-term growth strategy.
• Build strong commercial foundations and step into a future senior leadership role.

About You

• 3–5+ years' experience in planning and/or buying within fashion or retail.
• Confident building, maintaining, and analysing WSSI — you see it as your core planning tool.
• Multi-brand retail experience is a plus, but not essential.
• Strong analytical and commercial mindset, balanced with product intuition.
• Experience with demand forecasting, sales analysis, and inventory management at category level
• Exceptional attention to detail and proactive problem-solver.
• Clear, confident communicator with suppliers and internal teams.
• Energetic, motivated, and always one step ahead.
• Advanced Excel skills, including formulas, pivot tables, and data analysis, are essential.

Why Join Us?

• Impact: You'll play a visible, influential role in a business where your input truly matters.
• Growth: Clear pathway to Senior Buyer/Planner within 12–18 months based on performance.
• Variety: Rare exposure to both planning and buying across in-house label, external brands, and stockhouse lines.
• Culture: Supportive, collaborative team where ideas are valued.
• Perks: Staff discounts, supportive culture, and the chance to be part of our next growth chapter.

If you're looking for the chance to take ownership, grow your career, and make a real impact in a growing retail business we'd love to hear from you.
