Job description

Procurement & Supply Chain Specialist (m/f/x)

(Central Purchasing & Intercompany Order Management, Strong ERP Experience Required)

Job Type: Full-time, Monday to Friday (on-site)

Salary: Competitive fixed salary from AED 8,000 per month, depending on qualifications and experience

Company

We are an engineering plastics manufacturer and technical partner with production sites in Austria and Germany and our purchasing hub in Jumeirah Lakes Towers (JLT), Dubai. We supply high-performance thermoplastics in semi-finished and CNC-machined form to industrial customers in more than 30 countries.

We are looking for an experienced, hands‑on Procurement & Supply Chain Specialist who can run the full procurement and order-management cycle across all our entities and manage our intercompany buy-and-sell process.

This is not a customer-facing sales role.

This is a hands‑on operational role at the center of our international purchasing organization.

You will work directly in ERP, convert dispositions into purchase orders, negotiate with suppliers, and take full ownership of the order and delivery process for our sites in Austria, Germany, and the UAE.

Job Description

As Procurement & Supply Chain Specialist, you are the central purchasing point for all our entities.

Working from our UAE office, you convert ERP dispositions into accurate purchase orders, manage suppliers and negotiations, and keep the order and delivery process running reliably for Austria, Germany, and the UAE.

In addition, you own our intercompany buy-and-sell process: you act as internal supplier and internal buyer in one role, receiving requests from our own entities, sourcing externally, calculating the intercompany margin, and quoting back internally.

You will work closely with inside sales, logistics, and management.

A structured, precise, and reliable working style, strong ERP competence, and commercial understanding are essential for success in this role. Technical understanding of products and specifications is a strong advantage.

Your Responsibilities

Central Procurement & Order Management

• Converting dispositions from our ERP system into purchase orders and placing them with the correct supplier, for all entities (Austria, Germany, UAE)
• Verifying before ordering that articles are correctly set up and that prices and conditions are properly maintained in the system
• Checking incoming order confirmations against purchase orders and keeping the ERP system accurately updated
• Tracking delivery dates, processing reminders, and proactively coordinating date changes with inside sales
• Negotiating pricing and additional discounts with suppliers and bundling demand where possible
• Building and maintaining reliable, long‑term supplier relationships with partners in Europe and Asia
• Requesting alternative or backup suppliers when needed
• Handling supplier complaints and claims and driving them to resolution

Intercompany Sales & Purchasing

• Acting as internal intercompany supplier: receiving requests from our own entities, sourcing from the correct external supplier, calculating the intercompany margin, and quoting back to the requesting entity
• Executing the full intercompany chain on order: purchasing from the external supplier and confirming the internal sale, with clean and accurate confirmations at each step

Logistics & Delivery Coordination

• Informing logistics at the Austrian and German sites which goods arrive when and where
• Requesting and coordinating freight forwarders for consolidated transports

Your Requirements

• Proven hands‑on experience running the complete end‑to‑end cycle, from purchasing through quotation to order execution, within an industrial or manufacturing company. This is the single most important qualification for this role.
• Minimum 8 years of professional experience in procurement, central purchasing, and/or order management, ideally in a technical or industrial environment
• Proven experience running both the purchasing and the intercompany sales side in one role; experience gained at a UAE/GCC‑based company is a strong advantage
• Strong, well‑founded ERP knowledge (e.g. SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics/Navision, or comparable); candidates who work confidently in any major ERP will quickly learn our system
• High data discipline: order‑confirmation checking, master‑data and price maintenance, and accurate system upkeep
• Strong negotiation skills and a commercially minded, cost‑conscious approach
• Solid understanding of international supply chains, trade flows, and Incoterms
• Technical background or engineering degree is a strong advantage; experience with engineering plastics or comparable industrial materials is a plus
• Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Office, especially Excel
• Fluent English required; German or additional languages are a strong plus
• Bachelor's degree preferred

This is not a junior role and not a coordination‑only position.

We are explicitly looking for candidates who:

• Have personally run the full cycle from purchasing to quotation to order execution
• Work hands‑on in the ERP system, not only supervise
• Take ownership of orders, suppliers, and deadlines until they are resolved
• Are structured, precise, and process‑driven
• Full‑time position, Monday to Friday (on‑site)
• Fixed salary from AED 8,000 per month, depending on qualifications and experience
• A central role with real ownership and direct impact in a growing, technically driven company
• Modern office environment in JLT, close to metro access
• Long‑term role with clear responsibility and development potential
