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.

This role suits a buyer who is ready to run a brand, not just a category. You’ll bring the creative ideas, build the plan, and execute it independently, while managing and developing an early-career team member.

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

What you’ll bring

• Proven assortment planning experience in menswear apparel, including building a line across multiple departments (required)
• Experience managing a 100+ SKU assortment at once (strongly preferred)
• Ownership of the full buying cycle, including pricing and in-season actions
• Product vision and the ability to translate it into a clear, commercial strategy, with a creative approach to new ideas
• A self-starter who solves problems independently and runs day-to-day operations without needing direction
• Strong retail math: OTB, sell-through, markup, markdown, gross margin, xhqgsiq and GMROI
• Interest in, or experience with, coaching and developing junior team members
• Advanced Excel skills; experience with PLM and ERP systems

What’s on offer

• Medical, dental, and vision
• 401(k)
• Generous PTO and paid holidays
• Tuition reimbursement and 24/7 member assistance program
• Associate clothing discounts across the company’s brands
