Associate Buyer

Citi Trends

If you’re the kind of person who can spot a trend before it hits the racks, loves kids’ fashion, and knows how to turn data into smart buying decisions… this one is for you.

We’re looking for Associate Buyers

This role sits at the heart of our merchandising team—where creativity meets strategy. You won’t just be picking products… you’ll be shaping what our customers see, love, and buy.

Here’s what makes this role exciting:

  • You’ll help build assortments that bring fashion to life —fun, functional, and trend-right
  • Partner closely with buyers, planners, and vendors to drive smart, profitable decisions
  • Turn insights into action by analyzing sales, trends, and customer demand
  • Play a key role in pricing, negotiations, and inventory strategy
  • Support major moments— promotions, launches, and seasonal shifts

This is a role for someone who can balance both sides of the business:

  • Creative eye for product and trends
  • Analytical mindset to read the business and react quickly

What we’re looking for:

  • Strong Excel & PowerPoint skills (you know your way around data and how to tell the story)
  • Ability to multi-task and stay organized in a fast-paced environment
  • Confidence in building relationships and influencing decisions
  • A problem-solver who takes initiative and thrives in collaboration

If you’re ready to grow your career in merchandising and be part of a team that’s building something impactful—let’s connect.
