Founded in 2007 Club L was created with the vision of offering long-lasting luxury styles, trend-oriented collections with a twist and unique, statement designs that offer both exceptional quality and fit in an otherwise saturated market of fast-fashion and throw away goods.

Accessible luxury through considered purchasing, limited edition collections that leave no wastage and responsible and ethical manufacturing are at the heart of the brand, world-renowned for its premium fabrications, inclusive sizing and affordable price points.

About us

Club L London are the next-generation online retailer refining accessible luxury for forward-thinking women worldwide. Delivering timeless and trend-oriented styles in sizes 4-20 for every life moment, we design proudly in-house in the UK; with premium quality, exceptional fit and affordable style at the forefront.

Collaboration, communication and curiosity drive our extraordinary workforce – an ambitious team of diverse, experienced and up-and-coming talents that we think you’d fit right into.

A role at Club L is more than a job, it’s a lifestyle for the innovative, inspired and intuitive thinker.

The Role

We are looking for a different kind of fashion buyer...

You could be a seasoned buyer who’s been there, done that and looking for a new challenge. Or maybe you’re a product-savvy merchandiser who wants to get closer to the product.

This role is for the buyer or merchandiser who wants their next move to mean something. Our team is creative, collaborative, and allergic to the corporate rulebook.

You’re obsessed with how product comes to life. You notice fabric quality and silhouette before price point. You have a sixth sense for what’s next and thrive in a fast-paced growing team.Roles and Responsibilities

• Research and analyse fashion trends, market activity, and customer preferences.
• Manage the end-to-end critical path to ensure product lands at the right time and ensure the workflow runs smoothly.
• Assign Retail prices, Quantities and Size ranges for all Club L London products.
• Work closely with the wider product team including design, merchandising, and marketing teams to align collections.
• Support the CEO and Head of Product to deliver a balanced range across fabric, shape and colours
• Be responsible for the range plan and ensure all data is accurate.
• Manage and develop supplier relationships with our existing and growing global supply base
• Collaborate with the trading and marketing teams to identify and implement innovative strategies that maximise sales performance and market impact.
• Manage the Product admin assistant to ensure product creation and attribution of products is correct.
• Monitor sales performance, adjust buying strategies, and react to customer demand.
• Have a strong commercial eye and understand the brands vision to support the growth of the business.

Requirements

• Proven experience as a Buyer, Merchandiser or Account manager in fashion retail (3+ years).
• A creative eye, commercial instinct, and a love for elevated product.
• Strong understanding of fashion trends, fabrics, and garment construction.
• Excellent communication, analytical skills and attention to detail.
• Ability to problem solve and work to deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
• Identify new ways of working that fit the business as it continues to grow.
• Proficient in Microsoft Excel and buying/planning software.
• Degree in Fashion Buying, Fashion Merchandising, Business, or related field is preferred.
• Willingness to travel domestically and internationally as required.
