From Barcelona, our mission is to create a generation-defining company leading the robotics revolution.\nBy joining us, you will have the chance to do the most meaningful work of your life, setting a new standard for industrial automation and driving breakthroughs with global reach, while being surrounded by a focused, talent-dense team that shares this ambition and is here to win.\nWe recently closed the largest robotics Series A in Europe's history, and we're looking for the top 0.01% of talent to take on that mission with us, and build the biggest company in the world.\nYour role\nWe are looking for a Procurement & Purchasing Specialist to own how THEKER buys. Our robots are reaching more clients, and every new deployment adds suppliers and orders to manage. You will build the purchasing function that supports that growth, and the role will grow with it as our volume and team scale.\nYou will sit between operations and finance. Operations tells you what it needs, you turn it into purchase orders and follow them with suppliers until delivery. Every invoice then reaches finance already booked, with VAT broken down and the document attached. You don't need to master the technical side, the team is there for that. You do need to be sure of the process.\nDay to day, you will work in Payhawk and in Bitácora, our internal operations tool. Small R&D purchases stay with each team; everything at company level goes through you. Over time, your goal is to automate the flow from Bitácora, so purchase orders and supplier emails go out with one click and low stock triggers a new order on its own.\nWhat we're looking for\nExperience in an administrative, back office or purchasing role. A first job or internship counts if you can show you handled it well.\n\nBasic accounting and finance knowledge.\n\nHighly organized and comfortable handling many requests and people at the same time.\n\nFluent Spanish and professional English.\n\nBased in Barcelona or willing to relocate. This is a 100% on-site role.\n\nNice to have\nExperience with an ERP, stock management or purchase order workflows.\n\nExperience with Payhawk or a similar spend management tool.\n\nInterest in the technical side of what you buy, such as electronic components and cabling.\n\nStudies in business administration, finance, industrial engineering or similar.\n\nYou'll thrive at THEKER if\nYou're excited by a fast-paced and ambitious environment. The opportunity ahead of us is enormous, and we're going all in to capture it.\n\nYou want responsibility early on, delivering at world-class standards for leading clients.\n\nYou enjoy experimenting, iterating quickly, and embracing change as part of the learning process.\n\nYou bring order to messy processes and stay confident in the steps you follow, even when the technical details are new to you.\n\nMain responsibilities\nOwn company-level purchasing as the single channel between internal teams and suppliers.\n\nTurn internal requests into purchase orders using our template, send them and follow them until delivery.\n\nChase late orders and missing documents with suppliers.\n\nManage payments through Payhawk, both card and bank transfers.\n\nBook every purchase in Payhawk with the invoice attached and VAT broken down, ready for reconciliation.\n\nKeep purchase order, delivery note and invoice linked for every purchase, so finance can trace any payment back to its order.\n\nTrack stock for our stable bills of materials and make sure production never runs out.\n\nBuild automation in Bitácora so purchase orders and supplier emails are generated in one click.\n\nWhat we offer\nBeing part of a fast-growing robotics and AI company with genuine ambition, where your career can accelerate alongside us.\n\nThe chance to build THEKER's purchasing process from scratch, and to grow it into a full procurement function as the company expands.\n\nA focused, talent-dense team where your work is visible and your decisions count.\n\nAn environment where new ideas are encouraged and your contributions shape both the product and the company.\n\n100% on-site work in Barcelona.\n\nWhat the process looks like\nIntro call with Talent Team, 30 minutes.\n\nCase study based on a real purchasing scenario.\n\nTechnical interview with the operations team.\n\nInterview with finance and the founding team at our offices.\n\nThese steps can be completed in 7 days.\nFinal observation\nWe're committed to equality, diversity, and inclusion. We welcome all applications regardless of background, age, gender, disability, sexual orientation, or beliefs.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4822,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"Spanish","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":true,"industries":["Supply Chain","Machine Learning","Industrial AI"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-09T14:50:50Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:2","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-09T22:15:29Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/theker-procurement-purchasing-specialist","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/theker-procurement-purchasing-specialist.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-09T22:15:29Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":11615,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-10T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":2124913},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2124913"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Ftheker-procurement-purchasing-specialist"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Ftheker-procurement-purchasing-specialist"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Ftheker-procurement-purchasing-specialist"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/theker-procurement-purchasing-specialist\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Ftheker-procurement-purchasing-specialist"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3967559}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"theker.ai","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3967559},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
