Buyers – Food 

£Competitive & great benefits

 

FAST doesn’t even begin to describe our Buyers, can you keep up? 

Sound interesting then read on…..

Do you want to be part of the biggest success story on the high street? Do you want to be part of a business that has announced record breaking yearly figures, successfully floated on the London Stock Market and within the last year has seen 5 stores open in mainland Europe?

Due to our expansion plans and to continue the recent success we are looking to recruit some amazing Food Buyers into our team here at the Customer Support Centre in the West Midlands. 

You will have the usual responsibilities a Buyer has but will include: 
Managing Suppliers - Building and maintaining collaborative relationships with suppliers
Planning & Organising - Structuring range plans, promotional planning and planning projected sales by category and individual SKU level
Communicating - Communicating clearly and concisely with all key stakeholders
Delivering Results – Delivering results to drive sales and category performance

Managing Others - Mentoring and developing junior members of the team where appropriate and managing the Junior Buyer stream

Whilst working for us you'll create a fun and friendly culture in which colleagues trust and respect each other. One team working together to create amazing value for our customers. That way, people enjoy what they do. Yes they work hard, but it goes hand-in-hand with having fun. 
You'll definitely need proven experience of Buying in a FMCG Food environment. Just as important though, you really enjoy being part of a fast moving and entrepreneurial environment where you just need to get things done and move on. A place where individuals are encouraged and supported to deliver something exceptional. 
Sounds like you? Then get in touch - and start building a terrific future with one of the fastest growing names on Britain's high streets.

Company

Everything for £1 was the idea of our founders in 1990 and we’re still true to that great vision today.

Yes, Everything for £1

We work hard to bring you amazing value products everyday, over half of which are sourced from the UK.

Sometimes the products we sell are just so popular that we may run out of stock, but we always try to replace them as soon as possible – except perhaps, for some of our unrepeatable WOW offers!

From real deal top brands and daily essential items, to fantastic new lines and stunning WOW products, we hope our quality, variety and inflation busting style gives you irresistible value on each visit.

Every week, millions of savvy customers enjoy the fun and exciting shopping experience of Poundland in hundreds of stores nationwide. We are very proud to offer you a single £1 price, that hasn’t changed since we opened our first store.

SAME AMAZING PRICE SINCE 1990!
