About the role

An exciting opportunity for a passionate, organised individual to join the fast-growing Pets Domain team. With Pets Domain now reaching close to 80 retail stores nationally, this role sits at the heart of international sourcing, product development, local manufacturing initiatives and marketing efforts — overseeing projects from concept through to instore and digital launch. This is a hands-on role: you'll take ownership of your own product ranges, working through every stage of sourcing, development and commercial negotiating yourself, while briefing designers and the marketing team and overseeing their output to ensure it's on-brand and visually appealing. Reporting to the Senior Buyer, and working alongside other buyers, designers, marketing assistants and IT specialists, you'll also take on a growing layer of responsibility as the team expands — including allocating tasks, briefing team members, giving final sign-off on projects, and stepping up in the Senior Buyer's absence.
