We’re looking for a Sourcing Buyer to join our NPD (New Product Development) team – someone who will take full ownership of building and improving our range of nuts, rice, oils, seeds and other natural ingredients. You won’t just be placing orders – you’ll be shaping our product portfolio and helping us raise the bar in food quality and transparency.

Ensuring quality & compliance – working closely with our quality team, managing documentation, specs, and resolving any issues that arise.
Expanding and optimizing our portfolio – helping the team identify gaps and opportunities to bring better products to market.
Collaborating across departments – including product development, logistics, and marketing – to turn your sourcing wins into products customers love.
What we’re looking for:
You have 2–3 years of experience in food procurement, sourcing or buying, ideally in the FMCG or food production space.
You have hands-on experience or strong interest in categories like nuts, rice, oils, dried fruit or seeds.
You’re a strong negotiator and relationship builder with a strategic mindset.
You understand supply chains, pricing logic and food compliance standards.
You’re fluent in English – both written and spoken – and comfortable communicating with international suppliers.
What we offer:
Real impact – your work directly shapes what our customers put on their plates.
A fast-moving, ambitious e-commerce brand with strong in-house product development.
Opportunity to grow your own product category and develop long-term supplier relationships.
A collaborative, kind, and driven team that values ownership and transparency.
5 weeks vacation, Multisport card, pension contributions, English classes, monthly product credits, team events, and more.
