ASSISTANT BUYER - TRAVEL

Ref
HO1959

 

 

We are recruiting for an Assistant Buyer to join our Travel department. At Selfridges, our customers look for the best sourced products, including travel items. As an Assistant Buyer for the department, it will be down to you to make sure that’s exactly what they get.

KNOW THE ROLE

The role offers autonomy for the department, working alongside the Buyer, to select and source the best products and brands to ensure our customers get the very best selection of travel products. You will negotiate with suppliers – so we’re looking for someone with the tenacity and resilience to secure the very best terms for the store. You’ll also build strong relationships with merchandising and operations colleagues within the store, using their insights as well as your own to determine which products are performing well, and to make recommendations on where we take our ranges next.

KNOW WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

Proven Assistant Buyer experience in making commercial decisions and driving the department forward. You will be up to speed on seasonal trends and have experience working with continuity lines. You will be able to hold your own when dealing with suppliers. Creative flair, attention to detail and strong influencing skills are all essential along with great organisation skills and the ability to work independently or as part of a team.

KNOW SELFRIDGES

Since Harry Gordon Selfridge first opened the doors of Selfridges Oxford Street, London in 1909, Selfridges has been dedicated to surprising, amusing and amazing its customers with astounding moments of retail theatre. Having won The Best Department Store in The World title three times (2010, 2012 and 2014) along with World’s Best Sustainability Campaign by a Department Store in 2016, Selfridges is renowned as being the premier destination for a truly extraordinary customer experience, whether you’re shopping online or in store.

KNOW WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU

Team members at Selfridges enjoy generous rewards, including staff discount, 27 days’ holiday and great bonus potential.
