Sourcer & Buyer France

In your role as a Sourcer & Buyer, you are responsible for the French region. Within this position, the main challenge is to create and expand a network of companies which we can assist with buying their overstock.

Furthermore, you make sure that our vendors know that you are their key-person whenever they have questions or see opportunities. 

 You are commercially driven, result oriented, accurate and possess strong communication skills. You are proud of your work and have a passion for what you do. Are you proactive and unafraid to approach potential customers and offer them our services? Then you are most welcome! You'll end up in a nice, growing and enthusiastic team with international colleagues.
