2. No red tape
3. Impact from day one

• Own the commercial strategy for your category
• Build and manage supplier relationships and brand partnerships
• Curate a product range that delivers value and demand
• Use data to drive decision-making, growth, and margin
• Collaborate across global supply chain and operations teams

What we’re looking for:

• Buying, merchandising or category management experience in consumer products
• A strong commercial mindset. You're driven by results and know how to get them
• Supplier and brand relationships within your category
• The energy and ambition to build something new, fast
