Our buyers are at the core of our business, developing and delivering commercial and profitable ranges that offer our Phase Eight customer a point of difference. Working closely with the design team to develop new product ranges seasonally, our buyers ensure our ranges are delivered on time achieving company KPI’s (in-take, margin and markdown) and partner closely with the merchandising team to drive profits.

As a Buying Intern you will assist the buying team, providing administrative support as required. Your time with us will be spent getting to grips with our core customer and learning more about how we develop and deliver profitable range that maximises commercial opportunities.
