What are your main responsibilities within your current role?
As a buyer for a company, you handle all the purchasing. In this instance, that includes buying for the stores and the website.
You're responsible for buying the product and overseeing different areas. You also work with the planning team to set budgets.
You collaborate with the company's designers to ensure they create clothing that has performed well or aligns with styles proven to be successful. Additionally, you work closely with retail stores and the web team to help drive sales.
The primary responsibility of a buyer is purchasing the collection. You assign quantities for different garments.
For example, if you have a pair of jeans that are going to all the stores, and you're confident they'll sell very well, you would order a high quantity. This is because you believe in the product and know it will perform well.
