Job description
Fancy working for Morrisons? We’ve got an incredible opportunity that doesn’t come around everyday for a Buyer to be based 4 days a week at our Head Office in Bradford.
Proud of our roots, we’ve got a great story to tell and can look forward to a fantastic future which you can be a part of!
We’re a Yorkshire-based food retailer, growing from a market stall in Bradford to one of the UK’s leading supermarkets, having 120,000 colleagues in just under 500 stores serving over 11 million customers every week.
Our trading teams are key to our success and we are looking for a commercial Buyer to join our busy, fast-paced and dynamic teams. We are on the hunt for traders and future traders to join Fresh/Produce & Ambient categories and would love to hear from anyone with relevant experience.
The Buyer will assist the Buying Manager/Senior Buying Manager in planning, sourcing, selecting and negotiating a commercial and competitively priced product range across all channels, whilst maximising sales and margin for the department.
Our commercial teams decide what we sell and at what price. We source great products for our customers and negotiate deals with suppliers. And we look for the best local produce, tracking down products around the world to meet constantly changing tastes. Own brands. Value brands. Global brands. We take great pride in them all.
Not only are we the second largest manufacturer of fresh food in the UK, but we also ensure our traceability, in particular our meat products, to show it is ethically sourced, from which region of the UK and by whom, to help us paint a full picture for our customers from farm-to-fork.
You’ll help to deliver exceptional, customer-led ranges which drive sales and margin across a specific category. You will build on the capability of our Buying team by engaging with different teams across the business to translate customer buying insights into competitive customer propositions, ensuring quality and value.
Working within embedded business teams, our team of friendly faces works as one to provide shopping trips and a career experience you won’t find anywhere else!
