North Yorkshire £Competitive - Flexible / hybrid working
Ready to level up your career in buying and merchandising? This isn't your average admin role - it's your backstage pass to the exciting world of product, fashion, and retail operations.
We're on the lookout for an experienced organised, detail-loving, get-stuck-in superstar to join our clients team as a Buying & Merch Assistant on a 12-month fixed-term contract. If you thrive in a buzzing environment, love juggling tasks, and get a buzz from seeing products go from concept to customer - keep reading.
What You'll Be Getting Stuck Into
From idea to online - you'll help make it happen:
· Bringing new products to life in our systems (styles, colours, pricing - the works!)
· Assigning barcodes, updating range plans, and making sure everything is accurate and ready to go
· Supporting the buying team with smooth product launches and seamless data management
Master of the purchase order game:
· Raising and managing purchase orders like a pro
· Keeping everything up to date - from delivery dates to pricing tweaks
· Working closely with suppliers to ensure everything lands exactly as planned
Sample guru in the making:
· Organising, labelling, and managing samples (yes, you'll be hands-on with the product!)
· Supporting photoshoots and making sure everything looks perfect behind the scenes
· Keeping sample storage neat, tidy, and under control
The heartbeat of delivery & logistics:
· Tracking incoming stock and producing weekly reports that keep the whole business in the loop
· Liaising with suppliers, freight forwarders, and internal teams to keep deliveries on track
· Solving problems, chasing updates, and keeping everyone informed
Beyond the Basics
This role is packed with variety - no two days are the same. You'll also:
· Analyse reports and help track bestsellers
· Support launches and check everything is spot-on
· Prepare colour palettes and seasonal swatch books
· Assist with customer care and product training
· Get involved in meetings and presentations.
What Makes You a Great Fit
You're:
· Highly organised with a sharp eye for detail
· Confident juggling multiple tasks at once
· Comfortable with Excel and data (you don't need to be a wizard, but you're not afraid of spreadsheets!)
· A strong communicator who enjoys working with different teams
· Proactive, positive, and ready to roll up your sleeves
Bonus points if you love fashion, retail, or product!
Why You'll Love It Here
· A hands-on role with real impact from day one
· Exposure to the full buying & merchandising cycle
· A supportive, collaborative team environment
· The perfect stepping stone into a long-term career in retail
If you're looking for a role where you can learn fast, stay busy, and be part of something exciting - this could be your perfect next move.
