• Supporting Strategic Buyers with supplier, bundling and market strategies.

• Coordinating change requests, special releases and scrapping activities.
• Maintaining purchasing and master data in SAP, as well as supporting invoice verification.

• A Bachelor’s degree.
• Experience working with SAP; knowledge of SAP S/4HANA and Ariba is a strong advantage.
• Strong communication and negotiation skills with a confident, professional approach.
• Good attention to detail and an ability to work comfortably with data, systems and processes.
• A hands‑on and independent working style, with the ability to take ownership without needing close supervision.
• A collaborative approach and the ability to coordinate effectively with different internal stakeholders and suppliers.
• A genuine interest in developing your procurement expertise and building a long‑term career in the role.
• Fluent Business English and Portuguese, alongside very good knowledge of Google products.

Why join?

You’ll join a global company and international team, working with colleagues and suppliers from different cultures and markets.

The hybrid working model gives you flexibility between the office and home, while the role offers the opportunity to develop your procurement experience and become an integral part of a team supporting projects, suppliers and purchasing activities across the business.
