Description

Buyer - Stationery
LL)

As an experienced Buyer, you'll be able to translate and execute the category strategy for a given product range within Stationery, to deliver profitable growth and own the delivery of agreed KPIs.

Buying both Own Brand and new, exciting Branded ranges, you'll trade a customer-focused proposition through your team and build relationships with key internal and external stakeholders at a senior level.

This is a great opportunity to really make a difference and grow market share. Throughout, you'll have a firm focus on the customer and encourage others to do the same.

When you're not supporting the Senior Buyer and Head of Buying, you'll work closely with Product design and Global sourcing on cost-effective sourcing routes.

You'll also manage Assistant Buyers and Buying Admin Assistants and look to bring out the best in them.

Who you are

You'll have commercial awareness and buying experience, ideally in a digitally led business, and be keen to be more involved in project management.

You should know all about systems and processes in a complex multi-channel environment and have a good grasp of the legal side.

Financially astute, agile and happy under pressure, you'll also be able to identify market opportunities and influence people at all levels.

Drive and motivation will be key, of course, and there's more than enough room for your initiative.

Beyond that, just be who you are. This is an amazingly inclusive business where trust and respect are a given. We welcome different opinions and different views. We have colleague networks which simply don't exist in similar organisations.

And people don't just come here because of the culture — they come back because of it after a move.

Why Sainsbury's?

Work-life balance is important to us, so we offer our colleagues as much flexibility as possible in line with the needs of their role.

We trust them to decide how, where and when they work, combining remote and collaborative working with a flexible approach to hours, giving them plenty of time and space for life outside of work whilst delivering against our business goals.
