What you will do
- Lead retail buying and commercial strategy for your business area.
- Identify new brands, products, suppliers and market opportunities.
- Build and develop a strategic vendor base through networking, trade fairs and market activity.
- Negotiate commercial agreements that deliver compelling customer value and profitable growth.
- Use customer, product, competitor and market insight to make buying decisions.
- Own sales planning, inventory, delivery planning and Open-to-Buy.
- Balance margin, stock, liquidity, risk and longer-term commercial opportunity.
- Make decisions at pace when information is incomplete, then adapt as market evidence changes.
- Influence stakeholders across Italy and international TJX teams.
- Coach and develop buying talent through live commercial decisions.

- Evidence of owning commercial decisions and delivering profitable results.
- Strong stakeholder management, relationship-building and influencing skills.
- Commercial curiosity and a genuine interest in fashion, product, brands and retail trends.
- Confidence working independently, with the humility and learning agility to respond to challenge and feedback.
Your job title does not define your potential. You may currently work as a Senior Buyer, Buyer, Category Manager, Commercial Manager, Business Development Manager, Account Manager, Product Manager, Vendor Manager, Supplier Manager or Strategic Partnerships Manager. We are interested in the commercial evidence behind your experience.
