Buyer (Watches & Jewellery) job at Potters Bar Full Time NEW

Most buying roles ask you to manage a small part of a much bigger process.

This isn’t one of them.

We’re working with a fast-growing direct-to-consumer watch and jewellery brand, to recruit a Watch & Jewellery Buyer who wants genuine ownership, influence and commercial impact.

This is an opportunity to join a growing business where you’ll work closely with the founders to help shape future collections, identify emerging trends and bring new products to market.

If you’re currently an Assistant Buyer, Junior Buyer or recently promoted Buyer looking for a role with more responsibility, visibility and progression, we’d love to hear from you.

The Opportunity

As Watch & Jewellery Buyer, you’ll take ownership of product development and range planning across watches, jewellery and accessories.

You’ll analyse competitors, identify gaps in the market, work directly with suppliers and help develop products that align with customer demand, brand positioning and commercial objectives.

This is a hands-on role within a small entrepreneurial business where ideas can quickly become reality.

Key Responsibilities

• Research competitors, market trends and customer behaviour
• Identify opportunities for new product development and range expansion
• Build commercially successful product ranges aligned to target price points and margin objectives
• Source, develop and launch new products alongside suppliers and manufacturers
• Manage supplier relationships, negotiations, pricing and product development
• Review samples, packaging, finishes and product quality
• Track purchase orders and product development timelines
• Monitor inventory levels and support demand planning activities
• Collaborate closely with senior leadership on product strategy and commercial decisions

What We’re Looking For

• 2-5 years’ experience within Buying, Product Development, Procurement or Sourcing
• Experience within jewellery, fashion jewellery, accessories, watches or another trend-led product category
• Strong commercial awareness and product judgement
• Experience working with suppliers and managing product development processes
• Ability to spot trends and translate them into commercially successful products
• Highly organised and comfortable managing multiple projects simultaneously
• A proactive, entrepreneurial mindset
• Someone who enjoys ownership and thrives in a fast-moving environment

Why Join?

• Direct influence over product strategy and future collections
• Greater ownership than typically available within larger retailers
• Work closely with founders and decision-makers
• Less bureaucracy and faster decision-making
• Opportunity to shape and grow a new product category
• Strong long-term career progression opportunities as the business grows

Package

• Salary £48,000 – £55,000 depending on experience
• Pension
• Holiday entitlement
• Office-based role in Potters Bar with flexibility available for the right candidate

If you’re looking for a role where your ideas, commercial instincts and product decisions genuinely matter, we’d love to hear from you.
