• Anticipate challenges, close gaps, and bring fresh ideas to how products are developed, sourced, and delivered.
• Manage and develop supplier relationships, ensuring transparency, trust, and innovation at every stage.
• Apply ethical and compliance checks to ensure suppliers meet the brand's standards.
• Work closely with buying, tech and merchandising teams to validate suppliers, secure competitive pricing, and ensure business cases are sound.
• Lead projects to implement new processes or solutions, coordinating multiple teams to bring initiatives to life.
• Guide new suppliers through first orders and ongoing collaboration, troubleshooting and resolving challenges to maintain smooth delivery.
• Stay ahead of evolving legislation
• Partner with teams to maintain high standards for ethical sourcing, stock quality, and environmental responsibility.

• Passion for delivering beautiful, commercially viable product ranges that delight customers and align with brand values.
