- Own and drive end-to-end category performance
- Join a business undergoing an exciting transformation journey
- High-impact role with real ownership
We are partnering with an exciting multi-channel retail business, currently going through a transformation journey across their beauty and lifestyle space.
With a strong focus on strengthening its commercial and buying capability, refining category strategy, and continuing to scale its physical and digital footprint.
This is a senior buying role with full ownership of a key category, offering the opportunity to influence both short-term performance and longer-term direction.

Working across a broad supplier base, you will:
- Shape category direction through range planning and product selection
- Manage and develop supplier relationships, including commercial negotiations
- Identify new opportunities across product, pricing and promotional activity
- Drive performance through analysis of sales, margin and customer behaviour
- Partner with internal teams to ensure strong execution across channels
- Contribute to improving ways of working, bringing structure and commercial focus to the function
What Makes This Interesting
- Opportunity to step into a business that is actively evolving and investing in its buying function

- Exposure to a mix of established and emerging brands
- Ability to influence how categories are shaped and managed moving forward
About You
You are an experienced Buyer or Category Manager with a strong commercial mindset and a track record of delivering results.
You might come from beauty, skincare, fashion or other multi-brand retail environments, but most importantly you bring:
- Strong negotiation and supplier management capability
- Experience managing range, pricing and margin performance
- Confidence working with data to inform decisions
- The ability to operate in a fast-moving environment where things are still being built and refined
The Opportunity
This is a role for someone who enjoys having real ownership, influencing change, and working in an environment where they can make a tangible impact.
