Now Hiring in Sydney
The Brand |
Our client is a highly regarded Australian fashion brand with a strong omnichannel presence across Direct-to-Consumer, eCommerce and Wholesale. Known for delivering commercially relevant collections with a clear brand identity, the business continues to evolve through data-led decision making, agile product development and a collaborative approach across product, planning, digital and sales.
With innovation and speed at the forefront, this is an exciting opportunity to join a business where product performance, customer insight and commercial thinking genuinely influence the direction of the brand.
The Role I
Working closely with the Head of Product, you'll play a pivotal role in shaping seasonal product strategies across retail, wholesale and eCommerce. Combining analytical thinking with commercial intuition, you'll own the buying process from range architecture through to in-season trading, ensuring collections are aligned to customer demand, market trends and channel-specific performance.
You'll partner closely with Planning, Design, Product Development, Digital, Marketing and Wholesale teams to build profitable assortments, identify new opportunities and continually optimise product performance. With a strong focus on trading, speed to market and data-driven decision making, you'll use weekly sales insights to influence future buys, drive replenishment strategies, identify recut opportunities and support agile product development.
This is a hands-on buying role offering genuine exposure across every sales channel, making it ideal for someone who enjoys balancing strategic planning with fast-paced commercial execution.
The Skillset I
The successful candidate will be an experienced fashion Buyer with a strong understanding of omnichannel retail and the ability to confidently interpret data into commercial product decisions. You'll thrive in a fast-moving environment, enjoy collaborating across multiple departments and have a genuine passion for product, trading and customer behaviour.
You'll bring:
Minimum 3 years' experience within Fashion Buying, ideally across retail, eCommerce and wholesale channels.
Strong commercial acumen with experience building profitable assortments and category strategies.
Proven ability to analyse sales, margin and sell-through data to drive buying decisions.
Experience partnering closely with Merchandise Planning, Design and Product Development teams.
Strong understanding of seasonal range architecture, assortment planning and channel segmentation.
Experience managing in-season trading, replenishment, markdowns, recuts and speed-to-market opportunities.
Confidence presenting seasonal performance, product reviews and commercial recommendations to stakeholders.
Knowledge of wholesale calendars, sell-in cycles and customer performance analysis.
Advanced Excel skills with the ability to manipulate and interpret large data sets.
