YOUR TEAM 
You will join a dedicated Main Buying team that works together to create collections with the right balance of quality, craftsmanship, sustainability, and trends. The MAIN collection is a central part of VILA’s success, and with eight collections each year, our work is both fast-paced and full of exciting opportunities. Team spirit is at the core of how we work. We support each other, share knowledge, and grow together – always with a focus on reaching our goals and developing both as a team and as individuals.

THE ROLE 
In this role you will take part in developing and buying outerwear products in close cooperation with our design, pattern, and sales department. Together with the team, you ensure that we have the right mix of products with the right quality, price, and delivery, matching the VILA DNA and values as well as our customers’ expectations. You will work in close collaboration with our suppliers, where building strong, long-term relationships is a key part of your role. Alongside this, you will handle essential administrative tasks that ensure the business runs smoothly and professionally.

• You will be a part of our digital journey using 3D, technology, and data to shape the future of fashion
• Our familial culture fosters a sense of belonging, meaningful connections, and strong relationships 
• Flexible work hours, including the option to work remotely, are integral to our culture. We value work-life balance and encourage our employees to prioritize their personal lives while maintaining a strong work ethic  

YOUR PROFILE  
You are either in a similar role or have experience within buying, but most importantly, you have experience working with a product group and understanding its many components. You are a negotiator with an understanding of quality, price, and trends. As a person, you are independent, proactive, and structured, enabling you to stay on top of the situation in a fast-paced and creative environment.
