As the Buying Team we take care of the purchasing of all products and the regular expansion of the ABOUT YOU brand portfolio. We are always on the lookout for exciting, new and timeless fashion and lifestyle trends from all over the world. For this purpose we define seasonal assortment strategies and create seasonal and financial plans. All purchasing budgets are managed by ourselves and the analysis and evaluation of KPIs is also one of our tasks. A good relationship with our suppliers is important to us, so we take care of good relations and contact with our partners. If you are interested in these tasks, please feel free to apply in our team.
