Buyer Menswear

As Buyer Menswear you play a key role in the development and buying of our Menswear collections. Depending on your experience, your focus will be on Sweaters, Knitwear, Accessories & Hosiery. You will be responsible for the entire buying process, from selecting high-quality fabrics and negotiating competitive prices to making production plans and choosing the right suppliers. Your suppliers are located in China, Bangladesh, Cambodia and Myanmar, among others, and you maintain these relationships both digitally and during regular visits. In doing so, you negotiate price, quality and delivery terms, while closely monitoring compliance with our quality and CSR standards.

In this role, you will provide strategic & creative input and work closely with the Design and Merchandising departments. Based on a good eye for product, market analysis and trend insights, you translate our consumers' needs into actual collections. Together with Merchandising, you draw up a strategic plan to offer the right products at the best locations and moments, and you actively adjust during the season in order to optimise results.

You also manage a Buying Assistant, who is responsible for order processing and administrative support. You maintain an overview, keep the buying system accurate and up-to-date and use data to provide analyses and reports. This enables you to respond quickly to changes and continuously work on process improvement.

What do we expect from you?

• You have 2 to 5 years working experience within a Buying department where you have been responsible for a product group and have experience with Menswear.
• You have an eye for detail and are a strong communicator.
• You can keep a cool head! You maintain an overview, set the right priorities and, with great attention to detail, don't overlook anything.
