Our commitment to backing the latest fashion trends, combined with our reputation for the very best training, means that Trainee Buyer roles at Next are some of the most sought after in the industry.

As a buyer you’ll work alongside designers, merchandisers and technologists to identify new product trends, maximise sales and achieve profit targets by developing quality products at competitive prices.

You’ll have to consider customer profile, lead times, selling price and margin when creating balanced ranges. Not to mention key colour, shape, fabric and style trends. So, with lots to think about, you’ll often be under the pressure of conflicting priorities.

Which is why your commercial sense will prove just as important as your fashion sense. As you’ll be negotiating costs with suppliers and presenting your ranges to your Managers and Directors, you’ll also need great communication skills and the confidence to get all your bright ideas across. A fashion based degree is also preferable.
