I am currently partnering with one of Australia's premier youth fashion and streetwear destinations. From strong suburban roots, this iconic retail group has expanded to over 100 stores nationwide alongside a rapidly growing global e-commerce presence.

Known for curated high-energy assortments, they house a mix of leading international labels, local cult favourites, and thriving in-house brands.

On their behalf, I am searching for a commercially minded, trend-obsessed Fashion Buyer to join their dynamic team based at their Support Office in Brisbane's Eagle Farm area.

Reporting into the Senior Buyer, you will take ownership of your category-blending trend forecasting with data-led trading strategy to curate ranges that define Australian youth fashion.
