BUYERS ADMINISTRATION ASSISTANT

What you'll bring to the team
---------------------------------

We’re on the lookout for a highly organised and product driven Buyers Assistant to support our Merlin Brands Buying team, working closely with the Buyers, Merchandisers and wider Retail functions.

This isn’t your typical entry\-level buying role. It’s fast\-paced, detailed and sits right at the centre of how we bring our product ranges to life across our global attractions. You’ll be the person who keeps everything moving, maintains accuracy across multiple systems and ensures the team can deliver world class products and ranges as an extension to our Merlin experiences. From managing product data and coordinating samples to supporting meetings and supplier activity, you’ll help turn plans into reality.

You’ll build strong relationships across Buying, Merchandising, Suppliers and Attraction teams, becoming a trusted point of contact for getting things done. You’ll handle information with care and precision, spot issues before they become problems and keep everything on track when priorities shift.

If you enjoy detail, have a passion for trend and product, like being relied on and take pride in staying organised in a busy environment, you’ll fit right in.

This is a full\-time, permanent role based at our Merlin Technical Hub next to Thorpe Park Resort.
