Senior Buyer (retail)

Are you a passionate retail buyer with a sharp commercial instinct and a hunger for negotiation? We are seeking a world-class Senior Retail Buyer to join our Mexico Buying Office. Unlike traditional corporate retail roles where buying cycles are planned up to a year in advance, our business thrives on Opportunistic Buying

In this role, you will act as a true "Treasure Hunter" navigating the market to identify brand-name closeouts, overstocks, and surplus inventory, making fast-paced decisions to bring incredible fashion and value directly to our global consumers.

Key Responsabilities

• Market Hunting: Scour the domestic and international markets to identify, evaluate, and execute "Opportunistic Buys" from top-tier brands.
• Masterful Negotiation: Leverage your commercial expertise to secure the optimal balance of Price, Quality, Fashion, and Brand on every transaction.
• OTB & Volume Management: Actively manage high-volume budgets (Open to Buy) at the department and class levels, initiating between 20 to 30 complex purchase orders per week.
• Vendor Ecosystem: Establish an aggressive market presence and cultivate deep, long-term relationships with new and existing vendors, ensuring our team is their first call for surplus stock.
• Business & Strategy Analysis: Critique product mixes, monitor competitor price points, and continuously analyze retail trends to formulate weekly market strategies that maximize gross margins.
• Team Leadership: Manage and mentor a dedicated team of Merchandise Assistants (MAs) to ensure seamless operational execution and purchase order integrity.

• Experience: 5+ years of solid experience as a Buyer within corporate Retail environments (Apparel, Home Goods, or Accessories preferred).

Skills

• The Off-Price Mindset: Proven ability to thrive in fast-paced buying environments. You must know how to balance "opportunistic" volume buys vs. "incentive" purchases.
• Numerical Agility: Sharp analytical skills with deep experience managing OTB budgets, calculating margins, and handling retail math.
• Language: 100% Bilingual (Fluent in both English and Spanish)
• Soft Skills: Exceptional persistence, high flexibility, trend-savviness, and the ability to make high-stakes business decisions independently and rapidly.

We offer

Highly competitive executive base salary. Incentive Program Premium Executive Benefits: Major Medical Expenses Insurance Life Insurance, Monthly Perks Career Growth: Unparalleled exposure to international leadership and a clear career path within a global retail giant.
