Buyer

We’re IAG Loyalty – one organisation with two ambitious, growing divisions across Loyalty and Holidays. Each has its own goals, strategy and team, but together we’re united by a shared vision to create a more rewarding world of travel and experiences.

Our Loyalty division is home to Avios, the global loyalty currency, enabling millions of members to collect and spend rewards across travel, retail and financial services. Our Holidays division, including British Airways Holidays and Iberia Vacaciones, connects customers to thousands of destinations worldwide through seamless travel experiences. We're on an exciting journey of growth and transformation – and we'd love you to be part of it.

We're looking for a Buyer to join our team and help shape a commercially successful product range that delivers value for both our customers and the business. This is an exciting opportunity to own multiple product categories from end-to-end, sourcing new products, building strong supplier partnerships and driving commercial performance through effective buying, pricing and range management. You'll work closely with Merchandising, Marketing and Operations to deliver compelling product propositions while continually looking for opportunities to improve performance, optimise our offer and respond to changing customer needs.

What you'll be doing:

• Owning the commercial performance of your product categories, delivering against revenue, margin and profitability targets.
• Sourcing new products and suppliers to build a competitive, customer-focused product range.
• Negotiating commercial terms, pricing, lead times and supplier agreements to deliver the best outcomes for the business.
• Building strong, long-term supplier relationships and driving ongoing performance through regular reviews.
• Working closely with Merchandising to optimise product ranges, identify new opportunities and respond to customer and market trends.
• Planning seasonal and tactical promotions alongside Merchandising and Marketing.
• Managing category performance through competitor analysis, sales data and customer insight.
• Overseeing the end-to-end buying process, ensuring critical path milestones are delivered on time and products launch successfully.
• Identifying opportunities to improve profitability through sourcing strategies, supplier negotiations and range optimisation.
• Coaching and supporting a Buying Administrator, ensuring high-quality delivery across category administration and supplier processes.

What we need from you:

• Experience in a Buying or Product Sourcing role across multiple product categories.
• Strong commercial acumen with experience managing revenue, margin and commercial performance.
• Excellent negotiation and supplier relationship management skills.
• Experience analysing market trends, customer behaviour and competitor activity to inform commercial decisions.
• Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities and deliver against deadlines.
• A collaborative approach, with experience working cross-functionally across Buying, Merchandising, Marketing and Operations.
• Confidence using buying systems and a willingness to learn new tools and technologies.
• Great communication skills with the ability to influence and build strong relationships.
• Experience coaching or developing junior team members would be advantageous.
• Experience with SAP or Ariba would be beneficial but isn't essential.

We might not be right for you if:

• You prefer working in isolation rather than collaborating across teams and functions.
• You enjoy maintaining the status quo rather than continuously looking for ways to improve.
• You're looking for a role focused solely on execution rather than taking ownership and driving commercial outcomes.

If you think you have what it takes but don't meet every single requirement, we'd still love to hear from you.

This role will work as part of our Loyalty Division and is based in our London office. We call our approach to hybrid working The Blend—it's about giving you the flexibility to choose where you do your best work while staying connected with your team and the wider business. You'll typically spend at least two days a week in the office, with the flexibility to work remotely for the rest of the week.

Diversity and Inclusion

Our vision is to create a more rewarding world of travel and experiences. Delivering that requires diverse thinking and inclusive leadership. We are committed to building a workplace where people feel they belong and are valued for their perspective. Inclusion drives better decisions, stronger performance and more innovative outcomes. We actively encourage applications from people with different experiences and backgrounds, and are committed to ensuring our recruitment process is fair, inclusive and accessible.
