Anthropologie Senior Buyer - Accessories

Role Responsibilities

• Visionary Assortment Strategy: Architect a brand-appropriate, balanced product mix. Merge raw customer feedback with macro lifestyle trends to ensure our accessories collections feel "ahead of the curve."
• Strategic Business Ownership: Proactively manage the Open-to-Buy (OTB). Use data-driven insights to maximize the "hype" factor of key items while managing risk through smart reorders and markdown execution.
• Product Innovation: Partner with in-house Design and Sourcing teams to bring a creative vision to life. Together you will ensure the quality and "hand-feel" align with our premium brand standards.
• Vendor & Relationship Mastery: Build and negotiate with global suppliers to secure exclusivity and favorable terms. Represent the brand with integrity, attracting partners that align with Anthropologie’s artistic and ethical values.
• Leadership & Mentorship: Lead and develop a high-performing team (Assistant/Associate Buyers). Foster a culture of accountability, creative risk-taking, and professional growth.

Role Qualifications

• Experience: 10+ years of experience in a high-volume buying role. While experience in Accessories is a plus, we value a proven track record of managing complex assortments in any design-led category.
• The "Anthropologie Eye": A deep understanding of our target customer and the ability to translate micro-trends into "must-have" products.
• Analytical Rigor: Comfort with the statistical components of the business—IMU%, GM%, sell-through, and WOS. Make decisions based on insights, not just intuition.
• Creative Entrepreneurship: A proactive, "owner" mindset. Comfortable navigating ambiguity and always looking for the next opportunity to grow the business.
• Communication: Ability to clearly and confidently present seasonal strategies to senior leadership and collaborate across departments (Visual, Marketing, and Planning).
