    About Us

    Lifestyle Outfitters is a fast-growing eCommerce business specializing in multi-channel retail. We source products directly from trusted retailers and vendor partners, purchasing in volume and moving inventory quickly through our fulfillment centers. To support our growth, we’re hiring a Retail Field Buyer & Sourcing Specialist – Full Time to join our team.

    About the Role

    This is not a desk job. As a Buyer, you’ll be on the road daily in a company transit van, visiting retailers, identifying promotional opportunities, building vendor relationships, and making bulk purchasing decisions. This role requires flexibility, as sourcing opportunities and store availability may occasionally require early starts, late finishes, or adjusted routes.

    You’ll represent Lifestyle Outfitters professionally while managing a company credit card and operating within defined spend and sourcing guidelines. You’ll also use technology and product research tools to analyze data and make informed decisions on what to buy, when to buy, and how much to buy.

    This role is best suited for someone who enjoys being in the field, moving fast, and taking ownership of results.

    What We’re Looking For

    We will provide training, but the right candidate must bring:

    Excellent driving record and ability to confidently operate a transit van

    Professional demeanor and strong communication skills with store managers and vendor contacts

    Comfort managing company funds responsibly and accurately

    Strong technology skills — ability to use apps, spreadsheets, and research tools

    Ability to read and interpret product data (such as Keepa charts) to make disciplined purchasing decisions

    A self-starter mindset — able to work independently while representing the company with integrity

    Strong organizational skills to track purchases, receipts, and expenses

    Day-to-Day Responsibilities

    Drive a company transit van to multiple retailer locations daily

    Identify promotional, excess, or underpriced inventory opportunities

    Execute volume purchases within company guidelines

    Build and maintain strong relationships with store managers and vendor contacts

    Use product research tools to validate buying decisions before purchase

    Track receipts, reports, and purchase records accurately

    Ensure company funds are used responsibly and transparently

    Represent Lifestyle Outfitters professionally in all vendor interactions

    Why Join Lifestyle Outfitters

    Competitive pay with growth opportunity

    Company vehicle and tools provided

    Training on product research, vendor management, and eCommerce strategy

    A role with real responsibility, autonomy, and accountability

    Clear opportunity to grow into senior buying or leadership roles

    Be part of a fast-scaling company with a proven track record
