E-commerce Buying Administrator at Yuppiechef

Who we’re looking for

We’re looking for a full-time E-commerce Buying Administrator to join our Buying Team. If you’re looking for a role working alongside our dynamic Omnichannel buying team in delivering exciting new products to market, then this is for you!

What your role looks like

Taking direction from our Merchandising Manager, you’ll spend the bulk of your time sourcing the relevant information from our suppliers to list a new product which meets Yuppiechef's high standards

You will work between our category buyers & Web teams by facilitating our in-depth Product Listing process, by interacting with Suppliers in sourcing all relevant info to allow a product to ‘go live’ on our sales platforms.  You will also assist the buyers with admin-related tasks to improve team capacity.

This is a highly analytical role that requires a keen eye for detail! Obsessing about obtaining the perfect info will be key in making sure you are successful in this role.

Who you’ll be working with

You will be paired with a category buyer allowing you to gain key product knowledge and support a buyer in building ranges. We are a high-pressure team working towards strict deadlines but with a love for cool products and having fun while doing what we do best! We are a trendy bunch with an eye out for the next ‘cool’ thing!

We’re also into things like pets, gin, coffee, series and cake (basically any and all baked goods).
