Buyer Womenswear Heavy Woven

As a Buyer, you play a key role in the development and purchasing of our Womenswear collections, with a focus on heavy woven. You have a strong eye for fashion-forward silhouettes and know how to translate outerwear and suit trends into styles that resonate with our target audience. You are responsible for the entire buying process, from selecting high-quality fabrics and negotiating competitive prices to managing production planning and choosing the right suppliers. Your supplier network includes partners in China, Bangladesh, and Vietnam, and you maintain these relationships both digitally and through regular visits. In this, you negotiate price, quality, and delivery conditions, ensuring compliance with our quality and CSR standards.

Based on market analysis and trend insights, you collaborate with Design to translate consumer needs into concrete collections. Together with Merchandising, you develop a strategic plan to ensure the right products are available at the right locations and times, actively adjusting during the season to optimize results.

Additionally, you lead a Buying Assistant, who is responsible for order processing and administrative support. You keep an overview of the buying process, ensure that the buying system remains accurate and up-to-date, and use data for analyses and reporting. This enables you to quickly respond to changes and continuously improve processes.You also collaborate closely with various head office departments, including Marketing, E-commerce, Distribution, Visual Merchandising, and Finance, and regularly visit stores to gain insights directly from the shop floor.

In this role, you report directly to the Buying Manager.
