TASKS WITH IMPACT

• You build long-term partnerships with our most strategic suppliers and continuously develop our Supplier Relationship Management.
• International negotiations are in your hands: you negotiate commercial terms, ensure compliant contracting and are responsible for a high bonus volume.
• You keep a close eye on the correct implementation and remuneration of international conditions, e.g. bonuses.
• Based on yearly growth scenarios for existing and potential partners, you derive recommendations for upcoming negotiation rounds.
• You evaluate our supplier base using defined KPIs on sell-out and growth, spot strategic potential and identify new partners.
• Together with country management and the country purchasing teams, you track commercial goals, coordinate planning rounds for the revenue forecast per brand and initiate measures when risks arise.
• As a networker between the group and its subsidiaries, you lead purchasing-related projects, such as the implementation of contractually agreed marketing initiatives.

YOUR SKILLS

We take a competency-based and fair approach to recruiting, that´s why we look beyond your experience to understand how you create impact, grow through change, and collaborate for success. Alongside these competencies, we’re looking for the following skills:

• You hold a degree in business or economics, ideally with a focus on retail, or a comparable qualification.
• Solid professional experience in purchasing or sales at an international company, ideally in consumer goods or retail, sets you apart.
• Negotiating is your strength: you act with confidence and build relationships that last.
• Analytical and structured, you handle figures and complex databases with ease – from setup to maintenance.
• Excel and PowerPoint are tools you use confidently; SAP experience is a plus.
• You manage projects with focus while keeping the market environment, customer needs and trends in view.
• You communicate with ease in international, cross-functional teams; you are fluent in English, and further languages are a plus.

DO YOU RECOGNIZE YOURSELF?

Then become part of our international company and apply, stating your salary expectations and possible starting date.

As an international employer, we stand for equal opportunities and diversity. We therefore welcome applications from mothers, fathers, people with disabilities and people from the LGBTQIA+ community. Please let us know if, for example, we should use a gender-neutral pronoun, if you need barrier-free access to our offices or if we should allow more time for the application process.
We look forward to hearing from you!
