Een Buyer koopt collecties en producten in binnen een vastgesteld assortiments- en margebudget, onderhandelt met leveranciers over prijs en levercondities en bewaakt de balans tussen inkoop en verwachte verkoop. Werkgevers vragen doorgaans HBO-werk- en denkniveau, ervaring met inkoop of merchandising, en een scherp commercieel en trendgevoel. In sommige organisaties heet deze functie Inkoper.
Een Buyer koopt binnen een vastgesteld budget en assortimentsplan de collecties en producten in voor een merk of winkelketen. Je selecteert producten op basis van verkoopdata, markttrends en de merkidentiteit, onderhandelt met leveranciers over prijs, levercondities en exclusiviteit, en bewaakt de marge en levertijden. Daarnaast werk je nauw samen met de Category Manager, merchandising en de winkelorganisatie om het juiste product op het juiste moment op voorraad te hebben.
Voor een Buyer vragen werkgevers doorgaans HBO-werk- en denkniveau, affiniteit met mode, beauty of lifestyle, en een scherp commercieel en trendgevoel. Ervaring met inkoopsystemen, onderhandelingsvaardigheden en analytisch inzicht in verkoop- en margecijfers wegen zwaar mee. Bij luxury- en premiummerken komt daar vaak kennis van internationale collecties en leveranciersrelaties bij.
