The Role
As an Assistant Buyer on Face + Body, you'll play a key role in delivering the best edit of global beauty brands for the ASOS customer. Working closely with your Buyer and cross-functional partners, you'll help drive trade, identify opportunities for growth and build strong brand partnerships that support the success of the department.
This is an exciting opportunity for a commercially minded beauty enthusiast who is passionate about trends, customer behaviour and bringing relevant newness to ASOS.
The Details
- Supporting the Buyer in curating a commercially balanced and trend-led beauty range for the ASOS customer.
- Identifying emerging beauty trends, brands and product opportunities to ensure a relevant and exciting customer offer.
- Building strong relationships with brand partners and supporting the delivery of joint business plans and commercial objectives.
- Working closely with Buying and Merchandising teams to drive departmental performance through sales, profit and customer-focused decision making.
- Analysing trade performance to identify risks and opportunities, making recommendations to support departmental growth.
- Managing the critical path to ensure key launch dates and milestones are achieved.
- Collaborating with Marketing and ASOS Media Group (AMG) to maximise visibility of key brands, trends and product moments.
- Building effective relationships with internal stakeholders including Digital Trade, Supply Chain, Operations and Events.
- Supporting wider Face + Body and Retail projects and initiatives across the business.
- Coaching and supporting Buying Assistants within the team while championing Diversity, Equity & Inclusion strategies.
We believe being together in person helps us move faster, connect more deeply, and achieve more as a team. That's why our approach to working together includes spending at least 3 days a week in the office. It's a rhythm that speeds up decision-making, helps ASOSers learn from each other more quickly, and builds the kind of culture where people can grow, create and succeed.
