In The Style Mission
At In The Style, we empower our customers to be brave, embrace body confidence, and love themselves for who they are. Our message is clear: be who you are, not what you think you should be. Collaborations are in our DNA, providing a unique approach to products you won't find anywhere else. Our collections celebrate inclusivity, designed for everyone, regardless of shape or size. We are on a journey to attract new consumers and turn them into brand advocates, whether through our trend drops, our new fits sub-brand, or our renowned influencer edits.
The Role
1. Range Building: Working alongside design, merchandising, the rest of the buyers, and the collaboration manager to develop category ranges for In The Style that are both relevant and trend-led, while meeting the required intake margins for the business.
2. Critical Path and Supplier Management: Manage both the supplier and internal critical path to ensure all orders and meetings stay on track and in line with the wider ITS calendar and launch plan. Use your negotiation and influencing skills to ensure that we have accurate, sustainable, and competitive cost prices.
3. Quality Management: Continual review of returns data with QA, Design, and Merchandising teams to determine next steps and actions for current stock and the impacts on future ranges. Work in conjunction with the technical team to manage and review your product ranges by supplier to maintain high levels of quality and ensure margin is protected on failed lines. Review product performance, including best and worst sellers, and provide updates for new ranges.
4. Ecommerce: Accountability for ensuring data accuracy of the ranges for launch, including pricing and product information. Ensure samples are collated by the Assistant/Admin in time for shoots.
5. Accountability: Responsible for the production of excellent commercial ranges at an agreed bought-in margin and monthly sign-offs in line with the business critical path.
6. Training and Management: Train and manage the Buyers Assistants and admins, ensuring the teams operate to the best of their abilities. Work alongside the Garment Tech and designer to create great quality and value-for-money ranges for the In The Style customer.
7. Supply Base: Ensure that the supply base provides the best quality and price for the ranges. Develop excellent relationships with suppliers and ensure that any gaps are identified and action is taken.
