Trainee Purchase Manager
Dordrecht, Amsterdam, Fulltime, Trainee
Reach your full potential as a Trainee Purchase Manager
As a Trainee Purchase Manager, you will join one of our Purchase teams. The Purchase teams within B&S take care of the purchase of our products. Each team’s market share is subdivided into the product segments Beauty, Liquors & Food. The team you end up with depends on your interests and the location where you will be working.
As a new addition to one of our purchasing teams, you will be responsible for your purchasing area. Within one year, we will prepare you to become an independent Junior Purchase Manager according to the B&S standards. Once you have mastered everything, you determine the strategy for your product-market combination together with your manager.
You:
- decide which suppliers you work with and the entire negotiation process.
- maintain customer contact with existing suppliers and try to expand your network by building new relationships.
- will initially communicate a lot via telephone and digital meetings. Eventually, there will also be regular trips abroad on your schedule.
Your responsibilities also include registering and processing purchase orders. Due to your accurate working, you ensure that the order process runs smoothly.
This is you
You have a commercial mindset, and you are a natural entrepreneur. Your motivation is to learn and grow as much as possible within your purchase team. To do so, you are eager and ask a lot of questions. In addition, you like to explore things, seek opportunities and think outside the box. You push boundaries to challenge yourself continuously!
You
- have a Bachelor’s degree in Commerce;
- have gained about one year of working experience in the purchase, during your internship or a side job;
- can work with Excel, and you are good with numbers;
- are internationally oriented during an internship or a side-job;
- have a good command of the Dutch and English language in speaking and writing. Command of another language is an advantage.
We offer you
- A good salary fitting with your experience, plus a yearly fixed Christmas bonus and a performance dependent bonus
- The most up-to-date hardware (like a laptop) and software to ensure you complete your job in the best way possible
- Working from home if compatible with your job and the job-related tasks
- 25 vacation days, with the possibility to earn additional days
