Assistant Buyer
Hybrid – a minimum of 2 days per week at our Croxley Park office,
Are you passionate about beautiful products, commercially switched-on, and excited by the world of jewellery? This is your chance to join the UK’s leading specialist jeweller and help shape the future of our Diamond category across two iconic brands: Ernest Jones and H. Samuel.
In this role, you’ll play a key part in developing and curating a stunning Diamond assortment that inspires our customers and drives performance across both brands.
Working closely with the Buyer, you’ll support end-to-end product development, analyse trends and trading performance, and help bring to life collections that feel fresh, relevant, and commercially strong. It’s an ideal opportunity for someone currently working as an Assistant Buyer or a Buyer’s Administrator who’s ready to step up and grow their career in a fast-paced, creative, and supportive environment.
About the Role
You’ll work closely with the Buyer to support all aspects of the buying process — from range planning and product development to analysis and supplier management. Your input will help ensure our collections are commercially strong, trend-led, and perfectly aligned with our brand and customer.
Key responsibilities include:
- Assisting in the sourcing, development, and selection of products in line with the department strategy.
- Reviewing sales and product performance to identify opportunities that drive sales and profitability.
- Preparing product information and analysis for range reviews, sign-offs, and business presentations.
- Managing product samples and ensuring on-time delivery.
- Building and maintaining strong supplier relationships, attending meetings, and supporting negotiations.
- Conducting competitive shops and preparing analysis on market and trend insights.
- Supporting product launches and promotional activity, ensuring accurate information reaches stores and internal teams.
- Supervising and coaching the Buyer’s Administrator, helping to develop their skills and knowledge.
About You
You’re commercially minded, detail-oriented, and passionate about product. You thrive in a fast-paced retail environment and love turning data and trends into action. You’re confident working with suppliers, analysing numbers, and contributing ideas that shape the future of our Diamond collection.
We’d love to hear from you if you have:
- Experience as an Assistant Buyer or a Buyer’s Administrator ready for the next step, ideally within retail or a branded environment.
- Strong analytical and numerical skills, with excellent Excel capability.
- Great organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities.
- Strong communication and relationship management skills.
- A collaborative, proactive, and commercially focused mindset.
- Experience in supplier negotiation and an eye for detail and product quality.
