This is not a back-office procurement role.

This is a commercial retail buying position inside a scaling, fast-moving leisure and retail brand with serious growth ambition.

We’re looking for a retail buyer who understands:

• Product performance
• Margin management
• Category growth
• What actually makes customers buy

Not just someone who raises POs.

Why This Role Is Different

You’ll be joining a business with a clear 10-year growth ambition — scaling locations, expanding retail concepts, and building something genuinely exciting in the UK & Ireland leisure space.

You won’t just manage stock.

You’ll influence:

• Category sales growth
• Margin & cost control
• Stock availability strategy
• Product selection & supplier performance

Your decisions will directly impact revenue.

What We’re Looking For

This role will suit someone who has:

• 3–5+ years in a retail buying or category-focused role
• Experience working with fast-moving product lines
• A strong understanding of commercial KPIs
• Confidence analysing sales data and identifying winners/underperformers
• Experience negotiating with suppliers (MOQs, pricing, freight)

If you’ve worked in:

• Retail head office
• FMCG buying
• Toy / gift / seasonal categories
• Multi-site retail operations

You’ll likely feel at home here.

What You’ll Be Accountable For

Your bonus structure reflects what matters

• Stock accuracy & availability
• Product performance & sales uplift
• Cost efficiencies
• Clean systems & data reliability
• Cross-team collaboration

This is a performance-led retail buying role - not a reactive ordering function.

Culture & Environment

• Lean mindset & continuous improvement
• Commercially ambitious but not corporate
• Strong team collaboration
• Early finish Fridays (2:30pm)
• Support for CIPS / BI development
• Health cash plan & wellbeing support

This is a business that values growth of revenue and of people

.

Who This Is Perfect For

You might currently be:

• A Retail Buyer looking for more ownership
• An Assistant/Junior Buyer ready to step up
• A Category Executive who wants direct commercial impact
• A Senior Buyer in retail who wants a faster-paced environment

If you thrive where data meets commercial instinct, and you want to influence growth - this could be the move.
