Retail Buyer

The Seasonal Retail Buyer supports the planning, purchasing, and inventory management of retail merchandise for Powder Mountain and Powder Haven. Reporting directly to the Senior Retail & Rental Manager, this position executes the department's retail buying strategy by carrying out purchasing plans, managing vendor relationships, coordinating seasonal orders, and providing inventory support. All buying decisions, merchandise direction, and financial objectives are established in collaboration with and under the direction of the Senior Retail & Rental Manager.

This is a seasonal, part-time position with workload concentrated around the resort's annual buying cycles. Winter merchandise buying primarily takes place from mid-January through March for the following winter season, while summer merchandise buying primarily occurs during May through June for the following summer season.

Much of the work may be completed remotely, with occasional on-site visits during key buying periods, vendor meetings, preseason planning, or as business needs require.
