HEAD OF MENSWEAR BUYING in United Kingdom

Job description

About Us

Legend London is one of the UK’s fastest-growing menswear brands, worn by tastemakers, creatives, and ambitious men worldwide. We combine innovative fabrics with cutting-edge silhouettes to create products that look sharp, feel premium, and move with confidence.

Our DNA lives at the intersection of smart/casual tailoring and elevated streetwear essentials, and we’re just getting started.

We’re now hiring a Head of Menswear Buying to lead our product strategy, ensure commercial performance, and continue delivering menswear that sets the pace, not follows it.

The Role

As Head of Menswear Buying, you'll own and drive the menswear product strategy across all categories. From fabric discovery to category scaling, your decisions will shape the product direction and bottom line of the brand.

You must be fluent in both streetwear and smart/casual styles, with a strong commercial instinct and a deep knowledge of fabric innovation, market trends, and what men actually want to wear next.

You’ll work cross-functionally with design, merchandising, and marketing (remotely) to execute with precision and speed.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the menswear buying function with full commercial and strategic ownership
• Identify and source innovative, high-performance fabrics that elevate our product quality and point of difference
• Stay ahead of trends and category shifts in both smart/casual and streetwear segments
• Build data-informed, margin-conscious range plans with a focus on bestsellers and new hero products
• Collaborate with design to align seasonal direction, silhouette, and fit
• Manage supplier relationships globally and negotiate best-in-class commercial terms
• Monitor weekly sell-through, margins, and category performance to make fast, impactful decisions
• Own seasonal and in-season budgets and ensure profit targets are hit
• Maintain speed-to-market through tight critical path management
• Lead and develop a growing team of buyers and assistants to deliver with excellence

Requirements

• 5+ years experience in a senior menswear buying role, preferably within a fast-paced eCommerce or DTC brand
• Deep understanding of both tailored smart/casualwear and modern streetwear
• Obsessed with trends, consumer behaviour, and emerging fabric technologies
• Strong commercial instinct with a proven record of scaling product categories profitably
• Experienced in working remotely and independently while collaborating across teams
• Highly analytical and comfortable making data-led decisions
• A confident leader who holds a high standard and thrives in a high-performance culture

What We Offer

• Fully remote role (UK-based preferred for ease of collaboration)
• Competitive salary & performance-based bonus
• Product gifting & staff discounts
• A chance to shape the future of one of the most ambitious menswear brands in the UK
• High-autonomy, high-responsibility role in a culture that rewards results

This is a role for a buyer who wants more than just a seat at the table.

 It’s for someone ready to lead the product vision of a brand on track to redefine menswear.

Apply now, and in your application, please give us a brief answer to the following questions:

• Which menswear product have you successfully scaled in the past, and what was your process from identifying the opportunity to executing it?
• How would you build a product strategy that serves both our Smart/Casual and Streetwear customers without diluting brand identity?
• What do you believe separates a “good” product from a category-defining product, and how would you ensure Legend only launches the latter?
