What can you expect?
As our Inventory Buyer & Planner you will oversee and optimize our stock positions and buying of our company, making sure that we always have the right stock at the right place.
The Inventory Buyer and Planner has different responsibilities throughout the season: during the pre-order season the Inventory Buyer & Planner manages the buying of our three sales channels (E-commerce, Retail, Wholesale) based on sales data and trends. All three channels have their own dynamics and growth development, which makes a tailor made budget crucial for further growth.
After delivery of the collection in-store, the Inventory Buyer & Planner fullfills other roles.

And at the end of the season, the Inventory Buyer & Planner is responsible for our smart discounting plan to ensure optimal sales and margin levels. Next to that, the Inventory Buyer & Planner is responsible for stock checks and controlling, making sure the stock is always accountable.
