Buying Admin Associate Review

by TJX Europe

Rating

7.6/10
  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

    • I complete amendments (usually cost and ladder plan amendments) and generally help buyer admins. Internally, I greet my grandmaster and other apprentices on Teams, ask my grandmaster if they need help and ask them questions on the buyer admin role to learn more about the role. Externally, I study at the Fashion Retail Academy. My responsibilities are to learn about the buyer admin role, get a buyer and complete my project from the Fashion Retail Academy.
