Temporary Assistant Buyer
A leading global premium activewear and lifestyle brand is seeking an organised, detail-oriented assistant buyer to join their merchandising team on a temporary basis. This is an exciting opportunity to gain hands-on experience with a company that’s known for its community-driven culture, commitment to wellbeing, and performance-led design.
The Role:
As assistant buyer, you’ll play a key role in supporting the seasonal product lifecycle — from concept to delivery. Working closely with buying, planning, and design teams, you’ll help ensure the range reflects the brand’s high standards of quality, functionality, and style.
Key Responsibilities:
Support the buyer in executing seasonal buying strategies.
Analyse sales, margin, and stock data to identify trends and opportunities.
Help prepare range plans, buy sheets, and product reports.
Coordinate with cross-functional teams on product samples, fittings, and deliveries.
Maintain strong vendor and internal communications to ensure timelines are met.
Assist with ad hoc projects across buying and merchandising as needed.
About You:
1–2 years’ experience in buying, merchandising, or product coordination — ideally in activewear, fashion, or lifestyle retail.
Strong analytical and Excel skills; confident with numbers and detail.
Passionate about performance apparel, wellness, and mindful living.
Excellent communicator with strong organisational skills.
Adaptable, proactive, and comfortable working in a fast-paced environment.
The Offer:
Temporary contract via agency payroll (paid weekly).
Hybrid working with a collaborative, supportive team.
Great exposure to a global retail brand with strong values and culture.
