LONDON, United Kingdom —The role of buyers and merchandisers has been transformed by the ever-evolving demands on designers and the speed at which collections are produced. Alongside the busy buying calendar and the time management skills it demands, buyers and merchandisers must be competent in customer profiling, trend forecasting and data analysis, requiring an equal balance of both left and right-brain capacities.
Buying and merchandising positions are also some of the more high profile commercial positions within the industry, and include high-level access to designers and creatives as well as close interactions with brands and stores. The career path is a favourite among fashion school applicants and graduates. On BoF Careers, there are more than 250 roles across 15 countries available to emerging and experienced buyers and merchandisers.
