The Opportunity

As an Assistant Buyer at QVC, you'll be…

…At the heart of a very different approach to retail. We sell on TV, not in store, and that makes life so much more dynamic. If you're used to planning how much you'll sell in a week, with us you'll plan for the next ten minutes.

Reporting to the Buying Manager and working with the Junior Buyer and Buyer, you'll be responsible for a critical path that takes products from vendors to the studio floor. You'll work with everyone on that path to ensure each product is presented in the right way, and you'll respond in real-time to what's happening online and on screen. We believe there's no more exciting place to be an Assistant Buyer.

Who We Are

We offer an ever-changing collection of familiar brands and fresh new products – from home and fashion to beauty, electronics and jewellery – and we connect shoppers to interesting personalities, engaging stories and award-winning customer service.

Your Impact

• You will provide creative and administrative support to the Junior Buyer and Buyer in developing product ranges to meet sales, margin and stock targets within a specific product/category area.
• You will work with top brands in helping us always improve and grow our range.
• Gain experience of the buying process, working with the Junior Buyer and Buyer.
• Manage category-related administrative processes time-sensitive to the business.
• Collate and present product and sales information, trend packs and mood boards, including preparing for the day's strategic meetings.
• Produce range review packs, market reports and competitor shopping analysis, and bring suggestions of new ideas/products to the team.

What You Bring

You've already had experience within a head office buying environment, at BAA or Assistant Buyer level. Trend aware, you'll have experience in managing a critical path, be able to partner with suppliers and have the sort of deep product understanding that allow you to prepare guest presenters before a live show.

At QVC, we welcome ideas, so the ability to think entrepreneurially and put your hand up when there's an opportunity to get involved in a new project will be valuable.

You'll also need a good PC (Microsoft Word and Excel (can maintain complex spreadsheets)).

If you can bring all that, there's a clear path for you to progress and develop, and we'll help you on the way. It's so you!

If you could be our next Assistant Buyer, we want to hear from you.
