Buyer

Vesta Home is hiring a Buyer for a remote position supporting the company's product assortment strategy.

• Identify, build, and maintain vendor partnerships; negotiate pricing, terms, lead times, and order quantities to foster collaborative long-term relationships
• Review vendor proposals and product samples to assess quality, design, and value against Vesta standards
• Manage OTB tracking spreadsheets with precision, maintaining accuracy across purchasing data, pricing, and timelines in a hands-on, detail-intensive environment with minimal automation
• Work with the Director of Supply Chain to execute demand planning, process purchase orders, and manage vendor communications
• Track assortment performance against usage rates, staging cost per square foot targets, and sell-through data
• Coordinate with Creative Directors to ensure the assortment meets designer and client needs
• Monitor industry trends and designer feedback to identify gaps and new product opportunities, presenting findings to the VP of Merchandising
• Deliver regular reporting and insights on vendor performance, assortment health, and business possibilities to leadership
• Maintain organized records of vendor communications and quarterly planning documentation
• Bring a strong eye for design and commitment to timeless, high-quality home furnishings that uphold Vesta's reputation
