Job Outline:

The role of the Junior Buyer is to place purchase orders with our suppliers to fulfill customer orders and maintain stock levels on top-selling devices. It is their responsibility to source and/or negotiate the best market price for the product and ensure it arrives at the right cost and at the right time.

• Place daily purchase orders with suppliers using the Inventory Management System (IMS).
• Ensure relevant paperwork and a customer credit line are in place prior to purchasing high-value or customer-specific products.
• Review and authorize customer order changes and cancellations.
• Review supplier purchase orders through IMS and action reschedules or cancellations as needed.
• Resolve order price discrepancies with marketing and suppliers.
• Address receiving discrepancies with the EMEA Distribution Centre and Product Marketing.
• Be the first point of contact for customer production line down resolution.
• Work with sales, product marketing, and suppliers to reduce slow-moving inventory levels.

Do you have:

• Previous purchasing experience (preferable but not essential).
• Ability to organize, prioritize, and proactively approach tasks.
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
• The ability to identify and address flaws in current processes.
• Ability to perform well under pressure and meet deadlines.
• Flexibility and adaptability to different needs, situations, and markets.
