Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Accent Support Office Full time $90,000 - $120,000 per year

At OZSALE, we're flipping the script on online value retail for a new generation of style-savvy shoppers. As a fast-moving, digitally native marketplace in fashion, footwear, beauty, and lifestyle, we deliver trend-led products at smart prices. Now under bold new ownership, we're entering an exciting high-growth phase and footwear is centre stage.

We're on the hunt for a Footwear Buyer who lives and breathes product, spots trends before they peak, and knows how to balance trend, value, and margin. From must-have sneaker drops to timeless boots, you'll curate a range that's impossible to scroll past.

What you'll do:

  • Define and deliver the footwear category strategy to achieve sales, margin, and growth targets.
  • Build on-trend, value-led assortments that excite customers and deliver strong commercial outcomes.
  • Identify market "white space" and act fast to fill it with high-impact product.
  • Negotiate with suppliers to secure best-in-class pricing, margin, exclusivity, and agility.
  • Collaborate with marketing, logistics, and eCommerce teams to deliver perfectly timed product drops with compelling content.
  • Monitor sell-through and trading metrics to make rapid, data-led decisions on rebuys, markdowns, and promotions.
  • Execute clearance strategies to move aged stock while protecting margin.

What you'll bring:

  • Proven experience buying in footwear within a fast-paced retail or eCommerce environment.
  • Strong analytical skills with confidence in trading dashboards, forecasting, and performance metrics.
  • A track record of scaling assortments while protecting margin and managing tight inventory.
  • Sharp negotiation skills and supplier management experience, including global sourcing.
  • A passion for fashion, trends, and understanding what makes customers click "add to cart."
  • Proactive, agile, and hands-on — with a genuine love for product and customers.

Why you'll love it here:

  • Shape the future - be part of a high-growth transformation under bold new ownership.
  • See your impact fast - from concept to site in record time, you'll watch your buys sell in real time.
  • Work with great people - collaborate with a passionate, high-energy team that loves what they do.

If you're ready to lead the footwear category for a fast-moving online retailer and leave your mark on a brand in transformation, apply now and step into your next big career move.
