More than a job: a mission

• Managing MRP exception messages and anticipating supply problems
• Resolving Goods Receipts issues and following up on non-conformities with Procurement Officers
• Communicating OTIF (On-Time In-Full) results with suppliers and driving improvement
• You’ll work with sharp, committed teams across procurement, quality, and logistics - solving complex challenges that shape the future of mobility.

What you bring

• Excellent communication and analytical skills
• Upper-intermediate English or higher
• Excel skills/SAP systems knowledge
• Knowledge of the conditions and requirements specified in Incoterms (International Commercial Terms)
• Work experience in Supply Chain
