Job description

As Head of Buying and Merchandising, you’ll have the opportunity to shape and lead a high-impact area of BHF’s Trading and Commercial directorate, driving performance across our stores and online channels. This is a unique leadership role where commercial thinking, customer insight and operational delivery come together to maximise the success of our bought-in product range.

You’ll lead the strategy for a diverse and evolving portfolio spanning categories such as furniture, homewares, electricals, accessories, medical devices and seasonal ranges, while also supporting ethical surplus stock partnerships. With ownership of trading performance across physical stores, the BHF Online Shop and the Defibrillator Shop, you’ll play a key role in delivering sales, margin and stock outcomes that directly support our wider mission.

This role offers the chance to make a visible impact through shaping ranges, setting pricing and promotions, improving availability, and driving eCommerce growth. You’ll work collaboratively with suppliers and colleagues across Trading, Commercial and Digital, while leading talented teams and embedding modern, data-led and AI-enabled ways of working. 

If you are excited by commercial leadership, innovation and the opportunity to influence change at scale, this is a brilliant chance to make a meaningful contribution at BHF.

About you

You’ll bring significant senior-level experience in buying and/or merchandising, with a strong track record of delivering commercial results across both physical retail and digital channels. You’re commercially astute, financially confident and comfortable using data, insight and market trends to shape strategy, drive performance and improve profitability.

An experienced and credible leader, you can guide teams through change and embed new ways of working, including digital and AI-enabled approaches. You’ll also be confident building strong relationships across teams and with external partners, using your communication and influencing skills to align others and turn ideas into action.

We’re looking for someone who is curious, collaborative and future-focused, with sound judgement, strong decision making skills and the ability to lead with clarity in a fast-paced environment. If you enjoy combining strategic thinking with hands-on commercial leadership, this is an exciting opportunity to make a real impact.

Working arrangements

This is a hybrid role, where your work will be split between your home and at least one day per week, on average, in our Northampton Office (NN1 2BN). This may vary from time to time, so you will need to work in a flexible way to unlock your best work for our cause.

This role will also involve travel across the UK in line with the supplier base.
