• Bringing fresh product ideas backed by insight research (including social media, cultural trends, emerging brands). 
• Acting as a role model within the team through supporting Buying Admin Assistants and Assistant Buyers and guiding workload where appropriate. 
• Taking full responsibility for your brand’s day‑to‑day performance and presenting with authority.
