The Executive Development Program provides you with the tools needed to be a successful assistant buyer within our merchant organization. The intensive ten-week training program is a full-time position that, upon completion, leads to placement as an assistant buyer with one of our business divisions based in our downtown Dallas corporate offices. The program is a combination of classroom training and buying office rotations. Our comprehensive approach provides hands-on teaching and newly learned skills are applied in the setting of an actual buying office. Assistant buyers interact daily with stores, vendors and executives. We integrate buying and merchandise planning, as well as sales management to give you a better understanding of the merchant roles and responsibilities. In the Executive Development Program you will learn theories and analytical approaches to running a business, systems used within our merchant organization, and the Neiman Marcus corporate culture.
