Senior Fashion Buyer – Womenswear Fashion

1 week ago

Auckland CBD, New Zealand Frame Retail Full time
  • Join a fast-paced, trend-led womenswear brand
  • Competitive salary + perks
  • Plenty of travel and hands-on product development

We're working with a well-established womenswear label that is all about fresh product, quick reaction to trends and keeping their customer excited season after season. Based in central Auckland, this is a busy, creative buying environment where you are close to the product, in fittings most days and regularly heading offshore to source, research and build new ranges.

This role would suit an experienced Buyer who loves product development, range building and bringing ideas to life, rather than sitting behind spreadsheets all day. You'll be across fit, fabrication, silhouette and print, and confident shaping ranges that speak to a youthful, fashion-conscious customer. Experience in jersey and youth product would be a big bonus, and international buying or sourcing experience is also highly regarded.

What you'll be doing:
  • Building seasonal ranges that feel fresh, commercial and on-brand across key categories to achieve sales and profit targets
  • Leading product development from concept through to production, including fittings and fabric selection
  • Keeping close to trend, both locally and offshore, and feeding this back into seasonal direction
  • Working with marketing and eComm so product stories land well across all channels
  • Reviewing performance and identifying what to chase, what to pull back on and where the gaps are
  • Travelling frequently for sourcing, inspiration and supplier meetings
We'd love to hear from you if you:
  • Have previous fashion buying experience, ideally in womenswear
  • Are confident working across jersey, youth or more trend-driven categories
  • Strong understanding of garment construction, fit and fabric at a practical level
  • Very confident using Excel and general MS Office
  • Enjoy a fast-paced environment where things move quickly and no two days look the same
  • Have full working rights in New Zealand and are happy to travel regularly
What's on offer:
  • Competitive salary package
  • Staff discount and access to great product
  • A creative, collaborative team who genuinely love fashion and retail
  • Career growth in a brand that is still evolving and expanding

If this sounds like you, we'd love to chat. Get in touch with Rachel Smart or Bindy Williams-Lough at to register your interest.
