Buyer

Castle Employment Agency Ltd; Greater London; Hybrid; GBP 27,000

Job description

• Location & Flexibility: Greater Cheshire West and Chester Area (home vs. office is close to 50 / 50)
• Type of Contract: Full-time UK contract
• Level Guideline: to start: £27,000 / annum gross + there is a strong structured career path to grow within as the company is growing very fast. Several benefits too which can be covered in a call.

About the Company:

The company is an international brand active in the Technology sector, dealing with Consumer Electronic products and associated software and services. They compete on quality and innovation and pride themselves on having a very forward-thinking and inclusive company culture. They promote from within, making this role an exciting opportunity for short, middle, and long-term growth. Mainland Europe is one of their fastest-growing markets (with France as the leading country), and they have a very international team with many ex-pats from all over Europe.

About the Job:

The role is to start as a Buyer for Europe (mainly France) and to support the European Team, especially the French team. The idea is to support first and get to know the partners, clients, processes, and suppliers, then work your way up to manage your own activities and take initiative to implement your own plans and ideas. This person will build strong relationships with suppliers and vendors using their (French) language skills and their purchasing/sourcing/procurement skills. A strong eye for detail, strong communication skills, natural negotiation abilities (including cost savings and quotations), and a highly organized person who wants to maintain high quality and standards will be the best fit. Some links or interest in technology/electronics is a plus but not a must; the personality, philosophy, and way of thinking (to compete on quality) come first!

WHY THIS JOB?

This role is exciting on its own but also serves as a platform for growth (as the firm has a culture of promoting from within). The role is part of a very forward-thinking, sustainable, ethical, and inclusive company, making it a more enjoyable workplace. The firm is very international, creating a good personal and professional working environment where multilingual speakers will feel valued and at home. Additionally, the role offers nice flexibility and a healthy balance between home and office work (for someone already based in the Greater Cheshire area).
