Job description

As a Senior Buyer of Accessories at Anthropologie, you are the ultimate curator. You will balance "gut-feeling" creativity with analytical rigor to build a product mix that is bold, commercially relevant, and emotionally resonant. In the Accessories category you are defining the finishing touches that express our customer's personal style. You will lead the strategy for private label and market collections, ensuring our assortment remains a differentiated global destination.


Key Responsibilities

  • Visionary Assortment Strategy: Architect a brand-appropriate, balanced product mix. You’ll 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). You will 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. Toegther 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. You 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). You’ll foster a culture of accountability, creative risk-taking, and professional growth.


What You’ll Need

  • 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. You make decisions based on insights, not just intuition.

  • Creative Entrepreneurship: A proactive, "owner" mindset. You are comfortable navigating ambiguity and are 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).
