The posting

Who we are

SPOKE is a menswear brand that gives him a look that's considered, yet effortless, because the product has real substance, it styles easily, and the fit is built around him from the start. We're based in Richmond, where the London skyline meets lush, leafy greens — and we've built a loyal following on one promise: Ridiculously Well Fit, or your money back.

The role

We're looking for a Junior Buyer to join our Product team. You will play a pivotal role in managing the day-to-day of seasonal critical path across product development and bulk production - including tracking samples, managing lab dips to keeping product data and range plans accurate and up to date.

We’re after someone organised, proactive, and commercially aware- keen to learn how a product is built and ready to get stuck in.

What you'll do

Sampling & Development

  • Track and log all samples (proto, SMS, PP & Shipment) across categories, and chase anything outstanding
  • Manage lab dip approvals across development and bulk production and keep swatch libraries up to date and well organised
  • Chase in cost prices at each sealing stage and ensure records are accurate
  • Prepare samples and development materials ahead of key meetings and sign-off points

Critical Path & Data Management

  • Keep the product critical path updated and flag delays or risks early
  • Maintain trackers, line plans, BOMs, and shared folders to ensure accurate records at every stage
  • Collate and update product data as styles evolve—from first proto to final sign-off

Cross-Team & Supplier Communication

  • Coordinate across Design, Garment Tech, Merchandising, and Creative to ensure development and bulk production runs to plan
  • Share timely updates with wider teams to keep everyone aligned on progress, risks, and changes
  • Follow up with suppliers to get sample and bulk production statuses, lab dip approvals, pricing, and updates

Research & Commercial Awareness

  • Support comp shop reviews and trend research to inform seasonal development
  • Organise fabric and trim research—log swatches, manage contacts, and keep notes tidy
  • Track new developments and innovation trials for future seasons

Production

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
