This is not a traditional procurement role and it isn t a job for someone who wants to administer a process. We re looking for a commercial operator who understands product, trend, sell-through and margin and who treats AI as a daily tool, not a buzzword. You ll own the range. You ll decide what we buy, from whom, at what price, in what quantity, and when to mark it down. You ll work hand-in-glove with our US store managers, suppliers in the US and overseas, and our internal design and operations teams.

Use AI tools to compress the routine parts of the job including supplier comms, sample tracking, PO reconciliation, trend research so your time goes on commercial decisions, not admin. Travel to the US and Far East for buying trips, supplier visits and trade shows. Who we re looking for You ve worked in retail buying, merchandising or branded merchandise sourcing, whether that s a year and you re hungry to own more, or several years of running a category end-to-end. We care more about how you think than how long you ve been doing it. What matters is that you ve had real exposure to the commercial side: choosing product, negotiating price, watching sell-through, forecasting and learning what works. You actually use AI. Not because someone told you to, but because you ve worked out how it makes you faster and sharper. You can talk concretely about what you ve automated, what you ve used it to research, and where it s changed how you make decisions. If your answer to how do you use AI in your work is vague, this isn t the role. Happy working remotely, co-ordinating with UK and US based colleagues, flexing into US hours when needed. Must-haves Hands-on experience in retail buying, merchandising or branded merchandise sourcing, depth matters more than tenure Practical understanding of forecasting, inventory and rate-of-sales planning Understanding of licensing Track record negotiating with suppliers, ideally including overseas and US Strong commercial and financial acumen you can build and defend a margin plan Practical, daily use of AI in your workflow A genuine team player with no ego, no silos, no "not my job" UK right to work and willingness to travel internationally Nice to have US collegiate or campus retail experience Working knowledge of decoration methods (screen print, embroidery, sublimation, DTG) Experience with apparel, accessories and branded merchandise Experience building or refining buying processes inside a growing business The deal Remote, UK-based, with flexibility for US time zones.
