Are you a dynamic and creative individual with a passion for retail buying and a keen interest in the ever-evolving world of home theater technology?

This role offers a fantastic opportunity to shape the future of home entertainment for millions of customers.

Advantages for Candidates:

  • Impactful Role: As a Buyer, you'll be instrumental in developing and implementing the category plan for Home Theater Kits. This means directly influencing the product range, promotional strategies, and ultimately, the customer shopping experience, contributing to Currys' market-leading position.
  • Brand Relationships: This position offers the chance to establish and nurture credible relationships with global brands. You'll be at the forefront of sourcing the best products, negotiating favorable terms, and ensuring seamless supply chains.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: You will work within a tight-knit "Commercial Category Squad," fostering a collaborative environment where you'll engage with merchandising, Go-To-Market (GTM) teams, and senior stakeholders. This broad exposure will enhance your understanding of the retail ecosystem.
  • Career Development: Currys is committed to your growth. This role provides a platform to develop your negotiation, analytical, and decision-making skills. The company emphasizes continuous learning, providing new opportunities, ongoing training, and skills for life.
  • Competitive Package: Beyond the exciting role, Currys offers a competitive salary, 25 days of annual leave plus bank holidays, a pension scheme, private medical insurance, and life assurance.
  • Attractive Discounts: Benefit from fantastic colleague discounts on a wide range of tech products from Currys and iD Mobile.
  • Hybrid Working: Enjoy a healthy work-life balance with a hybrid working model, requiring an expectation of meeting in person 2-4 times per month, offering flexibility and in-person collaboration.
  • Sustainability Focus: Be part of a company that is making a real impact on people and the planet as the UK's biggest recycler and repairer of tech.
  • Inclusive Environment: Currys is dedicated to fostering an inclusive and diverse workplace, ensuring every voice is valued and opportunities are equitable.

Key Considerations for Your Career Path:

  • Experience Level: This role is ideal for an experienced Buyer or a highly capable Junior Buyer. You should possess demonstrable experience in supplier negotiations and relationship management.
  • Commercial Acumen: A strong commercial awareness and a deep understanding of customer needs are crucial. You'll need to be adept at monitoring market trends, competitor activities, and sales patterns to forecast demand accurately.
  • Analytical & Negotiation Skills: Strong numerical and analytical skills are essential for managing category metrics and identifying opportunities. Furthermore, exceptional negotiation skills are paramount, alongside excellent organizational abilities to manage complex logistics.
  • Dynamic Environment: The role operates in a fast-paced and dynamic environment. Candidates who thrive in such settings and are comfortable with managing multiple priorities will excel.
  • Presentation & Communication: The ability to effectively communicate and present within senior forums is a key requirement, enabling you to influence decisions and drive category success.
  • Tech Proficiency: A strong working knowledge of MS Office, particularly Excel and PowerPoint, is expected for data analysis, reporting, and presentations.
  • Fixed-Term Contract: While this is a 12-month fixed-term contract, it presents a significant opportunity to gain invaluable experience and potentially open doors to future roles within Currys.

This Buyer position at Currys is more than just a job; it's an opportunity to join a passionate team, shape the future of technology retail, and contribute to a company with a strong commitment to its people, customers, and the planet.
