We are recruiting a Purchasing Support Executive to join the Bathrooms, Tiles & Flooring team of a well-established buying department. This role will support the Senior Buyer across a range of purchasing and product coordination tasks — but above all, we are looking for someone with strong product knowledge in bathrooms and sanitary ware.

If you’ve worked in the bathrooms industry — whether in buying, sales, or sales support, and have a solid understanding of brands, specifications, and customer needs, this is an excellent opportunity to build a longer-term career in purchasing.

The role is office-based Monday to Friday, with the possibility of one remote working day per week after onboarding.

• Supplier Liaison: Communicate with suppliers to track orders, request samples, clarify specifications, and resolve issues.
• Data & Stock Accuracy: Ensure product details, pricing and stock information are accurately maintained in internal systems.
• Administrative Coordination: Handle purchase orders, product set-up, pricing updates and category documentation.
• Market Awareness: Monitor competitor offerings and support product benchmarking and range reviews.
• Internal Collaboration: Work with sales, logistics, and marketing teams to support the execution of category plans and promotions.

Skills & Experience Required

• Bathrooms Product Knowledge: Essential. You must have a strong understanding of bathroom and sanitary ware products, whether from a buying, sales, or showroom background.
• 1–2 years’ experience in a commercial, purchasing, category support, or sales support role preferred
• Strong organisation and attention to detail
• Good interpersonal and communication skills for supplier and internal coordination
• Confident using Excel and working with stock or product management systems
• A genuine interest in home interiors and a willingness to grow within the buying function

What’s on Offer?

• Basic salary up to €60k (DOE)
• Annual Bonus
• Pension
• A clear path to grow within a high-performing buying team
• Ongoing training and mentorship from a senior buyer
• Opportunity to play a key support role in shaping product ranges in a market-leading business

If you know your way around bathroom product ranges and want to move into a commercially focused support role, we’d love to hear from you.
