Your new company
A market-leader in their industry employing thousands of colleagues throughout the UK, this is a retail business loved by their customers for the choice, value and quality. As they continue to strive to stay ahead of the competition a Health and Beauty Buyer is needed by the business to manage the Beauty and Fragrance range.

Your new role
As a Buyer of Beauty and Fragrance products, you will source and negotiate with suppliers and engage with internal stakeholders such as Supply Chain and Marketing to ensure the business delivers a market leading product offer.

You will oversee the product pricing for the category, including setting retail price and managing price changes. You will also manage category performance against budget via the ongoing evaluation of sales, margin, availability and profit as well as work in partnership with the NPD team to execute an innovative and successful own brand and exclusive product offer.
