How Do You Fit In?
We are seeking a passionate and experienced Buyer to join our Fabletics EU team in Berlin. The ideal candidate will have a solid background in buying or merchandising within the fashion industry.

Inventory Management
Take full control of inventory management by monitoring and adjusting inventory levels to ensure optimal stock. Make decisions regarding reorders and inventory forecasts, ensuring a balance between avoiding excess stock and preventing stockouts.
Performance Analysis
Regularly review sales performance to refine the product mix and buying strategies. Present findings and recommendations to senior management.
Cross-functional Collaboration
Work closely with marketing, merchandising, and logistics teams to ensure a seamless go-to-market process. Ensure that all product launches are well-coordinated and aligned with the broader brand strategy.
Price Point Management
Manage product price points based on demand, competition, and market trends to ensure that our offerings are both competitive and profitable.
Trend Analysis
Stay informed about fashion trends across various categories, with a focus on ensuring our product offerings are competitive and in line with market expectations.
Product Development
Source and develop new styles that meet the needs of the European market.
What you can bring:
-
2-4 years of experience in buying or merchandising within the fashion industry.
-
Passion for Fashion- A deep understanding of fashion trends and a genuine passion for the industry.
-
Analytical Skills- Strong ability to analyze sales data, market trends, and consumer insights to make informed decisions. Proficiency in Excel and other data analysis tools is required.
-
Communication Skills- Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to present ideas and strategies clearly to both internal teams and external partners.
-
Language Skills- Fluency in English is required; additional European language skills are a plus.
What’s in it for you?
-
Compensation: Our compensation package includes a competitive salary, a flexible annual bonus scheme, and participation in our company equity program.
-
Holidays: Relaxation is important! That's why we offer unlimited discretionary paid time off on top of your contractual holidays, plus 4 Fridays off during the Summer, and a Week of rest in the Winter.
-
Professional Development: We want you to have dedicated time for your professional development. That is why we created the “Style Your Day” initiative. You can use the morning for career development programs and company sponsored mentorship opportunities and spend your afternoon taking care of personal goals that matter most to you!
-
Work Life Balance: As an international company we understand that not everybody works the same hours, so if you need to start late, finish early, or take time for yourself during the middle of the day, go ahead! Also, we care about maintaining healthy work life balance, so we have introduced the policy of no meetings Friday!
-
Health & Wellness Benefit: Fitness is in our DNA, that’s why we partnered with ClassPass and offer discounts in the memberships, plus we offer a Premium subscription in the Calm App and Healthkick Platform.
-
Location: Our office is located right next to Schlesisches Tor on the Spree in a modern space with a beautiful rooftop and amazing sights to the city.
