Buyer: Consumer Products Andover Hybrid 55,000 + 15% bonus + Excellent benefits 9 month FTC Potential longer term opportunity Are you a commercially sharp Buyer who knows how to get the best from suppliers, negotiate a great deal and spot an opportunity to grow a category? ReQuire Consultancy is partnering with an established and highly successful organisation to recruit an experienced Buyer into its commercial purchasing team. Initially offered as a 9-month fixed-term contract, this is a substantial buying role with real ownership. You'll inherit an established product category and supplier base, but importantly, you'll also have the freedom to challenge, negotiate, analyse and identify where further commercial opportunities exist. Previous experience within the client's sector would naturally be advantageous, but it isn't essential. We're much more interested in finding someone who understands buying, can demonstrate strong commercial instincts and has successfully managed supplier relationships and product categories. The role You'll take ownership of the purchasing relationship with your suppliers, negotiating commercial terms and ensuring the product range remains competitive, relevant and commercially successful. The formal brief includes responsibility for trading terms, ranging, pricing, forecasting, stock performance and promotional activity. You'll be looking at the numbers, understanding what's selling, monitoring the wider market and working with suppliers to identify opportunities to improve performance. This will include: Managing and developing key supplier relationships Negotiating pricing, trading terms and commercial agreements Reviewing and developing product ranges Forecasting and planning stock requirements Managing promotional activity and supplier opportunities Monitoring competitor activity and market pricing Using data to support buying and commercial decisions Identifying new products, suppliers and opportunities for growth Working collaboratively across purchasing, commercial and operational teams About you We're looking for an established Buyer, Category Buyer, Senior Buyer or commercially focused Product/Category Manager who can demonstrate genuine ownership of suppliers and commercial decisions. You'll be comfortable negotiating, working with data and understanding the relationship between price, margin, stock, availability and customer demand. You'll probably have worked within a product-led retail, wholesale, distribution or consumer environment, although we're deliberately keeping the sector background open. What matters is that you've bought products rather than simply processed purchasing, can hold your own in supplier negotiations and enjoy finding ways to improve commercial performance. Strong Excel skills and the ability to analyse and present information will also be important; the original specification specifically calls for advanced Excel alongside strong analytical and presentation capability. The opportunity This is a great chance to join a well-established organisation with a sizeable purchasing operation and take responsibility for a meaningful product category. Yes it is an initial 9-month FTC, there is the potential for the opportunity to develop beyond the initial contract. 55,000 (c) + 15% bonus Excellent benefits package Hybrid working Fantastic culture If you're an experienced Buyer who enjoys the commercial side of the job suppliers, negotiation, products, numbers and ultimately getting the right deal, we'd be keen to hear from you.

New Business Development Manager London Hybrid - 2 days a week in the London office Marketplace Seller Acquisition Commercial Growth Are you a Buyer, Category Manager, Commercial Manager or Marketplace professional who loves spotting opportunities, finding the right brands and turning them into commercial growth? Or perhaps you're already working in marketplace, eCommerce, supplier acquisition or new business and are ready to step into a role where you can shape category growth, lead a team and have a genuine impact on what customers can buy? We're looking for a New Business Development Manager to help grow an exciting Marketplace proposition across a portfolio of well-known retail brands including The Range, Homebase, Wilko and Bathstore.

As New Business Development Manager, you'll own seller acquisition across around half of the Marketplace's category portfolio, working alongside another BDM responsible for the remaining categories. Your focus will be on identifying where the Marketplace needs to grow, understanding the gaps in the current range and then finding the brands, suppliers and specialist sellers who can fill them. You'll use customer demand, search data, competitor activity, category insight and commercial priorities to decide who the Marketplace should be working with next. You'll then take those opportunities from prospecting through to negotiation, agreement and launch, building relationships with brand owners, founders and senior commercial contacts along the way. You'll also lead and develop a team of New Business Leads and Executives, setting targets, coaching the team and creating a high-performing new business function. Ultimately, your success will be measured not simply by the number of sellers you bring on board, but by whether you're bringing in the right sellers, the right products and profitable incremental GMV. What you'll be doing Own seller acquisition across your allocated categories, setting clear priorities around brands, sellers and range opportunities Identify category and range gaps using customer demand, search data, competitor insight and commercial performance Research the market and proactively identify exciting brands, suppliers and specialist sellers Build relationships with founders, brand owners and senior commercial contacts Pitch the Marketplace proposition and negotiate commission, fees and commercial terms Build and manage a targeted, well-qualified new business pipeline Own forecasting and provide clear visibility of pipeline, conversion, risks and opportunities Work closely with Digital Trading to identify new categories, brands and product opportunities Lead, coach and develop your New Business Leads and Executives Set clear individual and team targets and create a culture of accountability and high performance Work with Compliance and Seller Experience teams to ensure new partners meet Marketplace standards Support the transition from signed agreement through to successful launch and early trading Monitor new seller performance, including live SKUs, GMV and early trading Identify larger strategic opportunities including exclusive ranges, brand partnerships and joint growth plans Work with Retail Media to identify promotional and media opportunities for strategic sellers Bring market, competitor and seller insight into the wider Marketplace leadership team Represent the Marketplace externally at industry events, trade shows and with agencies, integrators and other partners Why this role? This isn't a role where you'll simply manage an existing supplier base. You'll have genuine influence over what the Marketplace sells, which brands it partners with and where it grows next. You'll combine category thinking with commercial acquisition, while leading a team and contributing directly to the wider Marketplace strategy. BH37577
