The Opportunity – Buying Graduate Pathway

As part of the Graduate Development Scheme, you’ll join our Buying function, working at the heart of a fast‑paced, international consumer goods business.

Buying at Ultimate Products is responsible for bringing innovative, on‑trend products to market at the right price and quality, across a wide range of product divisions and brands. Our Buying teams work closely with Brand, Design, Supply Chain, Quality Assurance and Sales, as well as our overseas offices and supplier base, to deliver commercially successful ranges for major retailers.

From early on, you’ll gain hands‑on experience supporting the end‑to‑end Buying process and developing a strong commercial understanding of how products move from concept through to customer. Typical exposure may include:

• Supporting Buying teams across different product categories and brand portfolios
• Analysing consumer and market trends to inform product and range decisions
• Working collaboratively with Brand and Design teams on packaging and product requirements
• Liaising with overseas offices and suppliers on samples and product development activity
• Producing accurate customer quotations and supporting commercial decision‑making

This is a challenging, fast‑paced role designed to stretch and develop you, offering excellent long‑term career opportunities for graduates looking to build a future in Buying within a growing consumer goods business.

Buying‑Specific Experience Requirement

Due to the nature of the Buying role and the level of responsibility involved from an early stage, we typically require applicants to have completed at least 12 months’ relevant work experience, such as a placement year or internship in Buying, Merchandising, Product, Supply Chain or a related commercial role.

If you do not yet have this experience, don’t worry we still want to hear from you. We offer opportunities to join the business in other departments, where you can build relevant commercial experience with a tailored development plan designed to support progression into a Buying role within approximately 12 months, subject to performance and business needs.

• A degree (2:1 or above) in any discipline
