What does a Buyer Stationery & Hobby at Action do?
You are entrepreneurial, commercially driven, and know how to get things done. That's what makes buying at Action unique. Every day, you work on optimizing the performance of the Stationery & Hobby category. You do this by staying on top of your numbers and visiting stores weekly-because that's where our customers are and what everything at Action revolves around.
As a buyer, you are responsible for the Stationery & Hobby category. Within this category, you act as an entrepreneur, managing all aspects of purchasing together with your team. From data analysis, planning, and quality improvement to introducing new products and sustainability initiatives.
You interact daily with buying assistants and departments such as Supply Chain, Commercial Planning, Product Technology, and Marketing. Together, you ensure that our assortment is high quality, low-priced, and always in stock.
You mainly work at our head office in Zwaagdijk. You will regularly travel within Europe and, depending on your category, also to the Far East. You visit suppliers, trade fairs, and stores to spot new trends. You search for new products while also focusing on improving quality, reducing costs, and making existing products more sustainable.
Each year, you create a category plan in which you anticipate future opportunities. You conduct both financial and commercial analyses and define key focus areas to elevate your category to the next level
