Clothing Buying Graduate Programme 2021
You know the feeling of excitement when you’re holding a quality M&S product. Now you can learn what it feels to be the first to discover them. Learn to source the best products, at the best prices, from all over the world.
Everyone has a different M&S product they love that creates a special moment when they buy it. Finding these comes down to our buying teams. They’re the ones who scour the planet to source the best new products at the best possible prices. So, if you know what people want and have a keen eye for business, then this is the perfect programme for you.
Join us here and you’ll step into the largest clothing retailer in the UK starting in the role of Graduate Trainee Assistant Buyer. Working alongside one of our buying teams such as Mens, Kids, Womenswear or Home, you’ll be working towards becoming a Buyer one day spotting the latest trends and how they might work for our customer.
As a Buyer, your diverse day job could involve a mix of briefing Designers, working with suppliers, trialling new products, or helping launch a product.
Throughout, you’ll get all the training you need, and after just 12 months you could be offered an Assistant Buyer role. From there, you’ll gradually take on more responsibility until you’re ready to become a fully-fledged Buyer, in charge of a specific department.
Ideally you’ll need a buying related degree, although we’ll consider other courses if you have relevant experience. You’ll also need to be confident, organised and comfortable working under pressure.
Start date: 6th September 2021
