About the team
Argos Commercial & Digital is focused on building customer-led, commercially strong ranges that help customers find great products at the right value, across digital and store channels. As part of the wider Buying team, you will work with expert colleagues across Merchandising, Digital, Marketing, Finance, Product Development, Technical and Global Sourcing, as well as major supplier and brand partners. It is a fast-paced, insight-led environment where strong commercial judgement, collaboration and ownership make a real difference to category performance.
More about the role
As a Buyer, you will translate and execute the category strategy for your assigned ranges, owning key parts of the buying process and helping deliver profitable growth. You will support the delivery of agreed category KPIs, including sales, margin, stock, availability, digital performance and customer satisfaction, while ensuring the range and proposition remain competitive, commercially effective and customer focused.
Day to day, you will use market, customer, competitor and supplier insight to shape range plans, pricing decisions, promotional activity and supplier business plans. You will work closely with Merchandising and cross-functional teams to phase budgets, update forecasts and deliver trading plans. You will also build strong relationships with suppliers and large brands, lead or support negotiations, manage supplier-funded activity, and guide Assistant Buyers and operational support teams to maintain pace, accuracy and compliance.
More about you
You will bring buying experience from a retail or consumer goods environment, with the commercial confidence to make decisions using trading performance, financial metrics and customer insight. You do not need specific TV category experience, but you should be comfortable working with large, established brands and managing supplier conversations where there may be competing priorities or challenging negotiations.
You will be a collaborative and credible communicator who can influence across teams and levels, balance short-term trading needs with longer-term category plans, and take ownership in a fast-moving environment. You will also be confident analysing complex data, identifying market opportunities and working cross-functionally to turn insight into practical commercial actions.
