Buying & Merchandising Executive

Job description

Ready for your next step abroad that puts you right at the heart of international fashion sourcing and production? If you want real, first-hand experience of how suppliers, factories, timelines, and teams come together across borders, this role in Bangladesh at our Dhaka office could be the move that shapes your career.

We are looking for a Buying & Merchandising Executive for our Dhaka office in Bangaladesh who is ready to commit for several years. You will work directly with suppliers and factories in Bangladesh, stay on top of the order process, and coordinate closely with our European teams to keep everything moving smoothly.

About the Dhaka office

HVEG’s Dhaka office was established in 1995 and has been a core part of our sourcing and production set-up ever since. It’s important to us to have someone from Europe consistently based in Dhaka, to strengthen day-to-day coordination and ensure strong alignment between teams.

You will work together with the General Manager who leads the local operation. Your as Buying & Merchandising Executive will require you to be in frequent contact with the buying and merchandising functions and with all business units across HVEG Group, helping to keep priorities, information, and ways of working aligned.

Your role as Buying & Merchandising Executive

As Buying & Merchandising Executive, you are involved in the full order journey on a daily basis and serve as an important point of contact between suppliers, the Dhaka office, and our European offices.

You keep a close eye on orders and delivery timelines, flag issues early, and take ownership of follow-up to keep commitments on track. You contribute to supplier sourcing and selection, and help resolve practical issues that come up at factory level. You spend time on the factory floor, closely monitor what’s happening, and make sure agreements are translated into action.

This position suits someone who is ready to step up, take responsibility, and keen to gain an inside view of how an international fashion supply chain works in practice. You stay calm under pressure, and you can perform in a fast-moving environment where circumstances can be challenging.

What you will do

  • Monitor the day-to-day order process, from placement through to delivery
  • Maintain strong working relationships with factories and suppliers
  • Identify and help resolve production, quality, and logistics issues
  • Contribute to activities relating to sourcing and selection of new suppliers
  • Work closely with buyers, merchandisers, and business units in Europe
  • Support quality checks and logistics coordination
  • Coordinate with local management and European offices

What we offer

  • A competitive salary, including tax benefits that come with an international assignment
  • Accommodation in Dhaka Bangladesh
  • Travel arrangements
  • Membership of a local expat club
  • A unique international experience at the heart of our sourcing and production set-up
  • Broad exposure to buying and production, end to end
  • Opportunities to grow within your role and within the organisation

What you bring

  • Several years of experience in buying, merchandising, sourcing, or production within the fashion or textile industry
  • Strong process awareness and analytical capability, with an eye for commercial priorities
  • The ability to keep overview, take initiative, and follow through
  • Clear communication skills and a practical, solution-focused approach
  • A no-nonsense mindset, resilience, adaptability, and confidence
  • Willingness to live and work in a multicultural environment in Dhaka for at least several years
  • Excellent English, spoken and written, is a requirement; Dutch is an advantage

A Random Thursday at our CR team

You start your day by getting a nice cup of coffee.

Followed by an online Global CR teams meeting whereby you give an update about HAG and we share knowledge and project updates with each other from all over the world.

You walk around the Belt Factory and have a chat with Titus, the Factory Manager, about the status.

Then you can join a lunch, with lots of nice food, in the canteen with a scenic view over the factory.

After lunch and a short stroll, you meet up with the Buying Manager and your manager, to discuss the status of certifications at the factories and materials.

Finally you sit down in front of your laptop and support your colleagues and customers with their questions on CR Compliance and Sustainability. You also do your weekly administration check and send a few emails to your colleagues in Bangladesh and China to get information about certifications of factories or ask about the status of certain issues in the factories which you need to communicate to a customer. Lastly, you check a customer CR manual and make sure that the ones involved at HAG are up-to-date.

At the end of your dynamic day, you are ready to enjoy a 'borrel' with your HAG colleagues or a HVEG Group party at a cool location.

A Random day as a logistic employee

As a logistics employee, I start the day with a meeting where we go over the tasks for the day, making sure everyone is ready to get started. 

I then begin by carefully processing the returns. After handling the returns, it’s time for a relaxed coffee break with the whole team. 

Next, I start picking and scanning orders for both B2B and B2C customers, ensuring everything is handled correctly and accurately. 

In between, there’s time for a shared lunch to catch up with my colleagues. 
Towards the end of the day, we get all the packages ready for shipment and make sure everything is neatly tidied up together. 

This way, we wrap up the day on a good note and are ready to start the next day with fresh energy and a smile.
