  • Recommend optimal order quantities based on commercial and operational requirements.
  • Support product setup, purchase order management, and product information accuracy within internal systems.

About You

We’re looking for someone who can demonstrate:

  • Experience in buying, merchandising, procurement, sourcing, or a related product-focused role.
  • Excellent communication, interpersonal, and organisational skills.
  • Strong commercial awareness and analytical ability.
  • A passion for products, consumer trends, and identifying new opportunities.
  • Confidence working with data, spreadsheets, and pricing analysis.
