Buying Manager Overaseas (m/f/d)
Fruithansa GmbH is a family-run company and has been one of the leading designers of modern fresh-supply-cabins and sustainable supply chains in Europe for over 50 years. We combine production, import, maturation, packaging and distribution under one roof – with passion for quality, speed and partnership. Together with a dedicated team and our customers in food retail, we are shaping the fresh-supply chain of tomorrow: transparent, efficient and sustainable. As a buying manager (all genders) overseas, you are responsible for purchasing from international procurement markets worldwide and are driving the further development of this area significantly – in close coordination with the buying directors. From the selection of suitable producers through price negotiations to the operational control of the flow of goods, you are acting independently. In doing so, you meet well-founded decisions at both strategic and operational levels and are the face of Fruithansa at our local producers. .
