About us!
We are a fast growing B2B E-commerce company in the solar industry. In the next few years there will be major developments in the field of solar panels, inverters, batteries, mounting systems and energy management . We want to support our customers as much as possible by offering them the right products, service and information. You will be crucial to our success in the role of Buyer.
As a Senior Buyer you will manage your own purchase portfolio. You make sure that we have our brands in stock, you win the best deals, you’ll manage the contracts with our suppliers and you know all the trends and developments within the market which you can translate to the rest of the organization. We will be expanding our business to more and more European countries, which means that you’re standing at the beginning of a new phase for the company, which offers many opportunities for development and growth.
What are you going to do?
- Planning and ordering products based on forecasted demand to serve customers with appropriate stock level.
- Establishing, maintaining and preserving purchasing relationships.
- Providing insights into market developments including suppliers, availability, new products, prices and development costs.
