Our teams at Hilmore House (our central office in Bradford) play an important role in making good things happen and that means it’s buzzing with activity. Join us on our two-year Buying Graduate scheme and enjoy lots of variety including sourcing ranges, settling deals and forecasting trade plans. Play a big role in everything from promotions to product launches, marketing and packaging!
What’s involved?
As a Buying Graduate, you'll enjoy early responsibility as an assistant buyer, before quickly training to become a buyer in a specialised product area. Learn on-the-job from experienced buyers, get involved in supplier agreements and go on placements within a store to understand our customers and colleagues. Day-to-day, you could be:
- Collaborating with suppliers to ensure we’re able to offer the best products at the best costs
- Sourcing and selecting ranges within your product area to give our customers a great choice
- Forecasting sales and trade plans to ensure budgets and project timelines are up to date
Our structured training and the opportunity to work on exciting projects means you’ll have plenty of opportunities to progress and learn while with us. By the end of the programme, you could be ready to specialise in a product area and develop your career as a buyer.
Make good things happen
Our graduates get access to all our employee benefits, including a holiday buying scheme, contributary pension scheme, store discounts and MyPerks. This is a reward and benefits scheme that updates regularly with new and exciting offers. Here’s what could be available:
- 24% cashback on JustEat
- 6% cashback on Ticketmaster
- Cinema tickets from £4.80
We also operate a 4.5 day working week in Hilmore House, offering the chance to spend time in the office, developing your team work skills and balance flexibility at home.

We are food makers and shop keepers, and together, we make Morrisons.
