I'm working with a nationally recognised food retailer looking to strengthen their team with someone commercially sharp and confident managing fresh food or fast-paced grocery categories.</p><p data-start="568" data-end="942">This <span data-start="573" data-end="589">Senior Buyer</span> role sits in a team of 10 and reports into a Senior Trading Controller. It offers a broad scope - you'll lead category strategy, manage supplier relationships, and work cross-functionally with pricing, finance, and supply chain to deliver real results. If you've got a head for numbers and a passion for driving product performance, you'll thrive here.</p><p data-start="944" data-end="1195">What sets this <span data-start="959" data-end="975">Senior Buyer</span> opportunity apart is the balance of autonomy and support. There's room to influence decisions, challenge processes, and shape how the category performs. It's a team that backs ideas and values people who take ownership.</p><p data-start="1197" data-end="1212"><span data-start="1197" data-end="1210">Key info:</span></p><ul data-start="1213" data-end="1433"><li data-start="1213" data-end="1260"><p data-start="1215" data-end="1260">Up to £60,000 basic + car allowance + bonus</p></li><li data-start="1261" data-end="1328"><p data-start="1263" data-end="1328">Hybrid working: 3 days in the West Midlands office, 2 from home</p></li><li data-start="1329" data-end="1394"><p data-start="1331" data-end="1394">Strong internal support network with clear progression routes</p></li><li data-start="1395" data-end="1433"><p data-start="1397" data-end="1433">Big-name brand with national reach</p></li></ul><p data-start="1435" data-end="1671">You'll need solid experience in retail or wholesale buying, ideally at <span data-start="1506" data-end="1522">Senior Buyer</span> level or close to it.
