Where do I fit at HQ
Buying
If fashion is your passion and negotiating your big thing, then you’ll be completely sold on buying.
As a buyer you’ll need to scour the globe and hunt down the hottest merchandise at the best price. Good people skills will come in handy, because negotiating with suppliers is an essential skill.
Buyers analyse global fashion trends for the hottest new directions to create a range of fashionable merchandise… that our customers would simply be lost without.
Planning
If numbers are your second language and you can turn sums into poetry, then planning is the place for you.
The planner teams up with the buyer to develop a strategy for each season. The planner knows how to stick to budget and works hand in hand with the buyer in understanding exactly what the customer wants.
Trend and Design
The trend and design team are creative peeps that interpret global fashion trends.
Whether it be fabrications, colour trends, prints, swing tickets or packaging, the design team is our ‘go-to-guy’ that puts us in the know… our crystal ball into future trends and what’s hot next season.
You don’t have to be psychic and have a third eye, just two really good ones and a specially developed sense of what’ll be hot next!
Visual Merchandising
If you always had a tidy room as a kid and grew up with a flare for fashion, then you’ll be right at home in the Visual Merchandising department.
Visual co-ordinators are responsible for ensuring our stores always look amazing and impossible for the consumer to resist. Once inside, consumers should never want to leave… that’s when your job is done well.
The Visual Merchandising team are in always touch with seasonal trends, key looks and promos, so you should have a creative streak a mile wide and love what’s latest.
Marketing
If you can balance a creative heart and strategic mind then the Marketing Department is where it’s at for you.
The Marketing Team make sure all our advertising is eye-catching and irresistible, whether it’s in a magazine, on TV or in store. Great advertising is especially important in the fast paced retail market.
Marketing peeps are team players that have an eye for detail and work at building strong relationships between Mr Price and its customers.
Finance
If you like numbers a little too much, think spread sheets are pin-ups and go bananas for budgets, then you’ll find some like-minded individuals in Finance.
Control of assets and liabilities and daily support to all departments of the business. That’s the Finance Team’s mission, so they need be the best in the business.
The Finance Department is the perfect place to get a solid grounding in our business. And ensure Mr Price is on solid ground.
Supply Chain and Logistics
This isn’t pizza-delivery, people! Our Supply Chain and Logistics department is super-organised and so you’ll need to be too.
The Supply and Logistics team always make sure the right fashion, in the right size, goes to the right store, in the right quantity, at the right time. Would you like extra pepperoni with that?
Various opportunities exist at the company’s Distribution Centre and in the supply chain department at our head office, so you’ll be able to find your right size and place.
