To date, we have grown a passionate community of over one million Hueligans, and commonly, you can spot a Hueligan a mile off, as they proudly wear our instantly recognisable Huel T-shirts and have our award-winning Huel shaker in their hands! We love the community we have built on our journey so far, as we try to make the world a healthier and more sustainable place to be. All of our merchandised goods are sustainably and ethically sourced and it's partly why we’re so proud of them.

 

As part of our merchandising team growth, we are looking for a new Buying Admin Assistant to report into our Head of Buying & Merchandising. You will provide crucial admin support to our product team, working collaboratively to ensure that the department runs smoothly, supporting sample management, updating the critical path and raising orders in line with supplier and brand deadlines.

 

This role will be based at our Global HQ in Tring, Hertfordshire, UK. You will need to be comfortable in a phenomenally fast-paced, high-growth, entrepreneurial environment, and have the ability to build strong relationships.

What you will be doing

 

Working within our Buying and Merchandising team of 4, no two days will ever be the same! We operate in an incredibly fast paced environment, where things are always changing, but here's an idea on what you’d be getting up to…

  • You’ll be actively providing admin support to the Product , Buying, Design and Merchandising teams to ensure that everything runs as smoothly as possible and that relevant reports and files are kept up to date at all times.
  • Alongside this you will work closely with Buying, Merchandising, Design Technical, Marketing and suppliers daily, coordinating and assisting to achieve deadlines.
  • Maintaining the Critical Path and communicating daily with suppliers will be key to ensure that we meet each key date in the calendar and the product runs on time.
  • You’ll be updating suppliers regularly with approvals, queries and CP information.
  • You must manage and keep track of samples, press samples, fit samples, wearer trial samples etc, including domestic & international courier liaison.
  • You will be raising purchase orders in line with deadlines.
  • As we continue to ensure that our customers only get the best quality products from us, you will be supporting the team with Product Development, sourcing the right sustainable product at the right price inline with brand strategy and direction.
  • You will prepare for product meetings, ensuring sample rails are well presented and meeting rooms are well organised with all relevant information prepared.
  • Regular customer analysis and comp shops will be crucial as we try to understand competitor activity, reviewing style, quality and sustainability and identify new opportunities.

What we are looking for

 

  • This role will probably best suit someone who is a recent fashion graduate or who has around 1 years experience in the industry, but what is most important is that you will have a strong understanding of the buying process.
  • Given how fast the business moves, you will need to be someone who is very organised, has a high attention to detail, is proactive and able to use their own initiative.
  • You will be very passionate about sustainable fashion and ethical sourcing, have excellent communication skills and be able to build strong working relationships both internally and externally too!

What we can offer you!

 

We’re a tight-knit team of intelligent, hard-working and bloody lovely people who are passionate about making the world a happier, healthier, and better place! We like to reward our team for this, so alongside free Huel to keep you going, you can expect;

  • Flexible working hours with options to suit your day and your routine.
  • ‘Huel Learn’ - our commitment to bettering your career alongside first-class on the job training
  • Free and unlimited access to a team of over 50 therapists and coaches to help support your Mental Health.
  • Private healthcare and pension schemes, for your own peace of mind
  • Electric Car/Cycle to Work schemes once you have passed probation
  • Like going to the gym? No problem, we have a free on-site gym with free classes, and we will give you your own nutrition plan to help you achieve those goals.
  • Quarterly events to celebrate success, and even the opportunity to bring your dog into the office too! Did we mention we love animals
