Job description

Are you passionate about fashion and detail‑oriented supply chain processes? We're a well‑established Australian apparel manufacturer and private‑label supplier - designing, sourcing, producing and delivering women's (regular + plus size), men's and children's clothing to a broad range of retailers (online stores, specialty chains, department and discount stores).
We're looking for a Buying Assistant to join our team based at our Sydney headquarters. This is a hands‑on role supporting the buying and sourcing process, helping ensure our collections move from concept to delivery smoothly and efficiently.
What you'll be doing
  • Assisting in product sourcing (domestic and international), including fabric/accessory sourcing and liaising with suppliers and factories.
  • Supporting product development - working with design and technical teams on samples, fit, quality checks and development‑to‑production transitions.
  • Helping manage purchase orders, tracking delivery timelines and coordinating with logistics/warehouse teams to ensure timely delivery.
  • Assisting with order maintenance for both large volume orders and smaller minimum‑order quantities, according to customer requirements.
  • Collaborating with internal teams - design, merchandising, production, and operations - to help deliver commercially viable, quality apparel that meets clients' needs.

What we're looking for
  • 2+ years in a similar position within apparel
  • Ability to work in a fast‑paced production/sourcing environment with strong attention to detail
  • Good communication skills (supplier liaising, internal stakeholders, logistics)
  • Organised, methodical and able to manage multiple tasks: sourcing, order tracking, quality control, logistics coordination

Why join us?
  • Work with a company that has more than 40 years' experience supplying major retailers across Australia, offering real‑world exposure to the full end‑to‑end process: design → sourcing → manufacturing → delivery.
  • Gain hands‑on experience across all aspects of apparel supply chain and production, including access to trend forecasting, global sourcing, and internal development resources.
  • Be part of a team that values sustainable and ethical sourcing practices, committed to responsible supply‑chain management.
  • Fast‑paced and dynamic environment where your support helps shape product output for a variety of retailers across the market.
  • Alexandria head office, 2015.

If you love fashion, enjoy the behind‑the‑scenes work of sourcing and production, and want to get valuable exposure to all stages of apparel manufacturing - we'd love to hear from you.
