About the Role:

As a Buyer at Rebel Sport, you'll manage a diverse product range and create assortments that excite customers. You'll negotiate with top suppliers, work with planners and the Merchandise team, and make sure Kiwis get the best gear at the right price - all while driving sales and keeping Rebel Sport ahead of the game.

This is your opportunity to be part of something bold, ambitious, and strategically game-changing - as we invest in unlocking the next decade of Rebel Sport's growth.

• Drive Performance: Drive category performance through effective buying strategies, margin management, and promotional planning.
• Lead on Trends: Stay ahead of industry trends, customer insights, and competitor activity to inform buying decisions.
• Inventory Control: Work closely with planners to ensure the right stock levels, minimising overstock or gaps in supply.
• Collaborate Across Teams: Partner with internal teams, including Marketing and Retail Operations, to bring products to market successfully.

What You'll Bring:

• Proven experience in a buying or category management role (sports gear or apparel experience is a big advantage).
• Strong commercial acumen with a track record of driving sales and profitability.
• Exceptional negotiation skills and the ability to build strong supplier relationships.
• Analytical mindset with the ability to interpret data, trends, and market insights.
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills.
