Senior Buyer

Senior Buyer - Menswear - Miami, FL

R2 are working with an established apparel group who are looking to bring on an experienced buyer to own end-to-end buying, assortment and in season actioning.

This is an end-to-end buying role: you’ll set the vision and strategy for the brand’s assortment, build the line across multiple departments, own pricing, and drive in-season actions to deliver sales and margin.

\n
• Set the brand’s product vision and seasonal strategy, bringing new ideas and creative direction to keep the assortment fresh and commercially strong
\n
• Own pricing strategy and initial markup, and make in-season calls on reorders, markdowns, promotions, and chase opportunities
\n
• Build and execute seasonal buy plans against open-to-buy (OTB), sales, and gross margin targets
\n
• Analyze sell-through, best sellers, and margin performance to shape future assortments
\n
• Partner with Planning, Allocation, Sourcing, Design, Marketing, and Ecommerce teams to deliver the seasonal calendar on time
\n
• Manage vendor relationships, delivery timelines, and cost negotiations
\n
• Manage, coach, and develop one direct report in the early stages of their buying career
\n

\n
• Product vision and the ability to translate it into a clear, commercial strategy, with a creative approach to new ideas
\n
• A self-starter who solves problems independently and runs day-to-day operations without needing direction
\n
• Strong retail math: OTB, sell-through, markup, markdown, gross margin, and GMROI
\n
• Interest in, or experience with, coaching and developing junior team members
\n
• Advanced Excel skills; experience with PLM and ERP systems
\n

What’s on offer
