We are looking for a Senior Buyer & Product Developer to own our collection plan, develop commercially strong product with Design and help us build a faster, more flexible supply chain. You will own the collection plan and build it with the Design team: the category mix, product offer, seasonal coverage, drops and balance between newness, carryovers and bestsellers.

You will work alongside Merchandise Planning as a peer function. Planning owns budgets, forecasts, buying depth and stock analysis. You own the collection plan and product development, using those financial parameters and sales insights to inform your decisions.

Turn sales insights and brand direction into clear development priorities by category, occasion, seasonal need and drop before design work begins. Define the category mix, number of styles, price architecture and drop structure within the agreed budgets and positioning, balancing products that drive sales, build brand recognition and test new ideas.

Balance

Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter needs, newness and proven products. Identify gaps, duplication and excessive exposure before development or buying commitments. Build a focused Wholesale assortment and a broader Retail and Digital offer, with drops matched to selling moments.

Keep the collection plan current as development progresses and commercial priorities change. Develop product and protect quality Follow product development from the initial brief and first sample through to order readiness. Participate in fittings and product reviews, contributing practical feedback on fabrics, construction, fit, finishing and commercial viability.

Work with Product, Design and suppliers to resolve quality, cost or timing issues without losing the intended product. Check target cost, minimum quantities, material availability and development and production lead times from the first brief. Negotiate directly and propose alternative fabrics, construction or suppliers when a development is too expensive, complex or slow.

Confirm order readiness: final specifications,



approved sample and quality, cost and payment terms, minimum quantities, reorder capacity and confirmed production and delivery dates. Negotiate and develop the supplier base Lead direct negotiations on prices, minimum order quantities, development and production lead times, repeat orders, payment terms and other commercial conditions. Match suppliers to product categories according to their technical capability, quality, capacity, cost and speed.

Develop alternative suppliers by product category and geography to reduce concentration and improve flexibility. Qualify backup options for proven styles without unnecessarily delaying viable orders with the current supplier. Build a faster supply chain with Operations Work with Operations to move buying closer to demand, shorten development and replenishment lead times and make supplier commitments more reliable.

Establish what can be reordered, in what quantity and within what timeframe, including fabric and colour availability, before we need to react to demand. Ensure a clear handover from development to production, including specifications, approvals, costs and delivery requirements. Work backwards from each channel's delivery date with Wholesale, Planning and Operations: commercial order deadlines, samples, buying, production and transport.

Operations owns production management and logistics. Supervise pricing coherence with the Junior Buyer and Merchandise Planning: category price architecture, market benchmarks, target costs derived from retail prices and required margins, and profitability by style. React to sales and develop the team Use Merchandise Planning's sales, sell-through and stock analysis to review performance by product, category and drop, and translate the findings into product decisions.

Propose reorders, adaptations, continuations or cancellations, checking supplier feasibility and timing while Planning assesses quantities and budget.



Follow each approved decision through to a confirmed order or change, with an owner, deadline and delivery commitment. Consolidate commercial results and recurring development issues with Product and Design, and make sure the learnings are reflected in the next collection plan and design briefs.

Support and train our Junior Buyer in product development, supplier negotiation and day-to-day execution. Keep clear priorities, documentation and follow-up across Design, Planning and Operations. What success looks like A clear, current collection plan built with Design, within the agreed budgets and positioning.

Product reaches order readiness with approved specifications, quality, costs and delivery commitments. Supplier negotiations improve cost, minimums, lead times and replenishment flexibility. Sales and development learnings lead to changes in the next collection and confirmed buying actions.
