  • Build strong relationships with suppliers and reps, always maintaining high standards of professionalism.

What's in it for you?

  • A key leadership role where your decisions directly impact store performance and customer experience.
  • Opportunity to build strong commercial and supplier relationships, expanding your career in buying and FMCG.
  • Work closely with a supportive leadership team in a well-established, locally focused supermarket.
  • Growth potential — develop your skills to progress into more senior buying or store management roles.

What we're looking for?

  • Proven retail or buying experience, ideally in grocery or FMCG.
  • Strong commercial and negotiation skills with the ability to maximise value for the store and customers.
  • Highly organised, detail-oriented and confident working with data and systems (SAP knowledge is an advantage).
  • Excellent relationship-building and communication skills, both internally and with suppliers.
  • Resilience, initiative, and a customer-first mindset.

To be considered for this role they will need to have had experience in a Supermarket. A proven ability to supervise or manage a medium to large sized team and be able to demonstrate excellent organizational and communication skills. They will also have a great attitude and work ethic, honesty, a high level of integrity, display high presentation standards, great delegation skills and have an eye for detail.
