Job description

Ralph Christian is a fast-growing watch and jewellery brand known for bold, statement designs. We sell globally through our own e-commerce store and have built a loyal following for timepieces and jewellery designed to stand out.

About You

We’re looking for a Watch & Jewellery Buyer to help lead our buying function. This is a key role. You’ll shape what we sell, not just execute a list someone else hands you. You’ll identify trends before they’re obvious, spot gaps in the range, develop new product categories, and build the supplier network to bring them to life.

You’ll help shape the buying process from concept through to stock landing: competitor research, range planning, sourcing, sampling, supplier negotiation, purchase orders, delivery chasing, and stock availability for key sales periods.

Qualifications

We’re looking for someone with 3+ years’ buying experience in watches or jewellery. Assistant Buyers ready to step up into full category ownership will be considered.

You’ll need strong commercial instinct, a good eye for product, experience sourcing from suppliers and manufacturers, and the ability to operate independently in a small, fast-moving business.
