About Nati Boutique
Nati Boutique is your go-to for effortless, comfortable, and affordable women’s style — think cozy knits, everyday staples, and timeless silhouettes that feel as good as they look. For years, our Founder and Chief Merchant has personally curated our assortment, building a brand with a strong aesthetic and a loyal following.
We’re now entering an exciting new chapter — and we’re looking for a Buyer to help shape what’s next. If you have a great eye, strong instincts, and a passion for creating smart, stylish assortments, we’d love to meet you.
About the Role
This is a unique opportunity for an experienced Buyer to join a growing brand and play a key role in defining its future. You’ll manage the end-to-end buying process — from trend forecasting and vendor relationships to assortment planning and inventory analysis.
In your first year, you’ll work closely with our Founder to gain a deep understanding of the Nati aesthetic and our customer. This is a high-impact, high-visibility role with room to grow into the future Head of Merchandise.

Spend time in our retail locations learning our customer, styling them and utilizing feedback in product decisions.
Attend markets, trade shows, and vendor meetings to source new collections while maintaining relationships with established vendors.
Negotiate pricing, terms, and delivery schedules with vendors to maximize profitability and ensure timely product flow.
Collaborate with CEO and CFO on annual and seasonal buying budgets; provide analysis and recommendations on product performance.
Analyze sales reports, inventory levels, and customer feedback to inform buying decisions and improve assortment performance.
Partner with store leadership to gather insights on customer needs and ensure product selection aligns with store demand.
Work within Shopify and internal systems to track inventory, product performance, and purchasing orders.
Stay informed on industry trends, competitive landscape, and emerging designers to keep Nati Boutique ahead of the curve.
Qualifications
5+ years of experience in fashion buying, ideally in women’s apparel.
Strong vendor network and experience working with trade shows, markets, and independent designers.
Proven ability to interpret trend data, sales analytics, and customer insights into buying decisions.
Experience negotiating vendor terms, pricing, and contracts.
Knowledge of retail math, open-to-buy planning, and assortment management.

Highly organized with the ability to manage multiple seasons, categories, and deadlines simultaneously.
Passion for fashion, retail, and delivering an elevated customer experience.
