A successful Category Buyer will have the responsibility for continuing to build category business for high visibility retail stores. This includes driving the assortment, promotions and relationships necessary to build upon our existing merchandising strategy for both the brick-and-mortar and online store efforts.
As the company expands the store base and continues to improve experiences online, an effective multi-channel business strategy is pivotal to success. Effectively assorting the right products for the stores means striking a fine balance between establishing a unique and innovative selection to drive interest and traffic and a selection of products that will drive meaningful increases in revenues and affinity for the stores.
The candidate needs to possess a solid track record of results realized in his/her career as a Buyer (defined by sales, margins, customer satisfaction and effective processes) coupled with an expert knowledge of the business in terms of trends, demand analysis and promotion efficacy.
