Job Description

Are you obsessed with trend discovery, product curation, and driving profitable results? We’re looking for a dynamic Retail Buyer with strong off-price experience and a pulse on the missy and streetwear market. In this role, you'll build compelling assortments, partner with industry-leading vendors, and help shape what customers see, love, and buy.

You’ll combine trend insight, negotiation power, and data-driven decision-making to deliver high-performing product strategies. This is an opportunity to make a bold impact in a fast-paced retail environment.

What You’ll Do

  • Spot the trends before they hit mainstream—especially in missy and streetwear —and build smart, competitive assortments.
  • Source product within the off-price model , developing powerful vendor partnerships and securing strong pricing and terms.
  • Analyze sales, customer insights, and market shifts to drive strategic buys and optimize inventory.
  • Collaborate with merchandising, planning, marketing, and store operations to bring assortments to life.
  • Monitor performance and recommend reorders, markdowns, and adjustments to accelerate sales and profitability.
  • Attend market visits, vendor meetings, and trade shows to scout innovation, up-and-coming brands, and culturally relevant collections.

What You Bring

  • 3–5 years of buying experience , preferably in retail off-price and/or trend-forward categories.
  • A passion for streetwear culture, missy styling, and brand curation .
  • Strong negotiation skills and proven success working with vendors.
  • Excel mastery and a data-savvy mindset.
  • Ability to juggle multiple categories, move quickly, and act decisively.
  • Excellent communication and partnership skills.
  • Willingness to travel up to 40%.

Education

  • Bachelor’s degree in Business, Merchandising, Fashion, Marketing, or related field.

Why This Role Matters

This role shapes what customers experience every time they walk in—or scroll online. You'll influence assortment direction, uncover what’s next, and drive measurable results. If you're part merchandiser, part strategist, and full trend hunter—you’ll thrive here.
