Buyer Administration, Cape Town

Buyer's Administrator – Sneakers & Trainers (Menswear)

We are seeking a highly organised and detail-driven Buyer's Administrator to join our Sneakers & Trainers and Menswear team. This is a structured, execution-focused administrative role supporting the end-to-end buying process of third-party branded fashion and footwear.

If you are passionate about data accuracy, process management, and supporting a fast-paced e-commerce environment — without the commercial responsibility of buying — this opportunity could be ideal for you.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide full administrative support across the buying cycle, including purchase order creation, amendments, and maintenance

• Track stock deliveries and manage reporting and critical path timelines

• Ensure accurate SKUs, pricing, delivery dates, and quantities across systems and the website

• Capture and maintain product data received from third-party brands, including images, descriptions, specifications, and barcodes

• Conduct website checks to ensure content accuracy (imagery, sizing, descriptions, specifications)

• Maintain dashboards, spreadsheets, and reports using Excel and Google Sheets

• Liaise daily with planning, operations, customer service, finance, and brand partners to resolve administrative queries

• Manage stakeholder communication to ensure deadlines and delivery timelines are met

Requirements

• Grade 12 / Matric (tertiary qualification in Business Administration or similar advantageous)

• Experience in a Buyer's Admin, Buying Support, or Merchandising Admin role preferred

• Exposure to the retail buying cycle, particularly third-party or branded buying, advantageous

• Advanced Excel skills (pivot tables, formulas, lookups are essential)

• Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills

• High attention to detail and commitment to data accuracy

• Comfortable working across multiple systems and adapting to evolving processes

Additional Information

• Office-based, full-time role

• Market-related salary aligned to an administrative position

• This is a dedicated administrative role focused on execution and process integrity

If you meet the above criteria and are confident in your Excel proficiency, we invite you to apply.
