We have an exciting opportunity for a Buyer to join the Home Textiles team! The role is managing our DSV online business across the textiles team. We are currently in a significant period of both SKU and supplier growth so it's an exciting time to lead this area. This role represents a fantastic opportunity to gain exposure to numerous commercial teams and to engage colleagues across the business to land an integrated, best in class customer offer.

Your Role

As a Buyer, you will work collaboratively with key suppliers and with internal stakeholders alike in order to deliver sales, pricing and growth ahead of the market while helping to manage the category P&L. You will work very closely with both the textiles buying team and the wider business DSV team to drive our online growth and deliver against ambitious targets. You will negotiate and deliver business plans as well as understand customers and implement strategies that meet their needs, in tandem with other buyers across the categories. You will also need to understand, track & negotiate around key commodities and deliver cost to serve programmes with suppliers to ensure great value for our customers.

Let's find out about you

• You will need strong relationships across the team and be a self-starter.
• Strong commercial acumen
• Buying experience from a similar industry
• Negotiation and influencing skills

Everything you'll love

To ensure we balance moments where we know we need to collaborate together and the need for flexibility, Asda has a hybrid way of working with a minimum of 3 days a week in one of our Home Offices. Over and above this, each area of Asda may have additional requirements which may require spending more days in the office, visiting suppliers, stores or depots.

You will also get an excellent benefits package including:

• Discretionary company bonus
• Company pension up to 7% matched
• 15% colleague discount in store and online
• Free access to wellbeing services such as Wagestream, 24/7 virtual GP, counselling, health and dental cash plans and a 24/7 employee assistance helpline, alongside discounts across a range of services and activities, from airport parking, enhanced to theme parks and cinemas.
• Asda Allies Inclusion Networks – helping colleagues to make sure everybody is included and that our differences are recognised and celebrated.
• Excellent parental leave policies, including maternity & adoption leave, paternity leave, shared parental leave, neonatal care leave, and support for those doing fertility treatments.

We want all colleagues to be able to bring their best and true selves to work, every day. Simply put, we want our colleagues to be Proud to be Asda and proud to be themselves.
