Náplň práce

Ordering and inventory balance

• Create and place purchase orders with our suppliers (mainly China) based on current stock levels, sales forecasts, lead times and MOQs
• Own the balance between availability and tied-up capital: no stockouts, no overstock
• Maintain reorder points, safety stock and coverage per SKU, and adjust them as seasonality and sales data change
• Work closely with Sales and Product Management on forecasts, and challenge the numbers when they don't look right
• Track and improve the KPIs that matter: in-stock rate, weeks of coverage, inventory turns, forecast accuracy, excess and slow-moving stock

Negotiation and commercial terms

• Negotiate purchase prices, payment terms, MOQs, tooling and packaging costs, and Incoterms
• Improve terms year over year. This is a permanent objective, not an annual exercise.
• Prepare and maintain price benchmarks and cost breakdowns per product

Quality ownership

• Act as the internal keeper of product quality: specifications, golden samples, pre-shipment inspections, defect follow-up and corrective actions
• Make sure documentation and compliance for the EU market are in place (for example food-contact, REACH, RoHS, relevant EN standards)

Supplier development and sourcing

• Continuously search for alternative and additional suppliers offering better price, quality, capacity or terms
• Qualify new suppliers, run sampling rounds and build a second source for key products
• Travel 2 to 3 times per year to international trade fairs (Germany, China and others) together with the Product Manager, to maintain supplier relationships in person, drive product improvements and negotiate better terms

Zamestnanecké výhody, benefity

• 2 to 3 international business trips per year (Germany, China, and other fair locations)
• Direct, short decision paths. You speak with the people who decide.
• Real ownership of a budget and of supplier relationships, not an administrative order-entry role
