WHAT YOU WILL DO:
- End-to-End Purchase Order Management: You place purchase orders, track supplier confirmations, and monitor order execution using ERP, Procuros, and planning tools to prevent out-of-stock situations.
- Supplier & Delivery Tracking: You continuously follow up on delivery schedules, monitor OTIF performance, identify delays early, and resolve operational bottlenecks with suppliers.
- Warehouse Delivery Coordination: You align directly with warehouse operations on inbound shipments and resolve receiving discrepancies or arrival issues on a daily basis.
- Invoice & Financial Alignment: You verify supplier invoice details and collaborate closely with Accounting and Finance to clear processing holds.
- Supplier Compliance: You enforce supplier adherence to operational, packaging, and receiving standards in daily workflows.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: You lead the supply chain execution for key initiatives, such as new product launches or packaging optimizations, alongside Logistics, Product, and Procurement.
WHAT YOU BRING:
- Relevant professional experience in supply chain management, purchasing execution, operations, or logistics, ideally within an e-commerce, FMCG, or retail environment
- Strong hands-on experience working with ERP systems, inventory management tools, and spreadsheets (Google Sheets / Excel) to execute purchase orders and monitor inventory
- High problem-solving capacity and operational drive to resolve daily bottlenecks, shipping delays, and warehouse receiving issues proactively
- Structured and detail-oriented approach with a clear focus on data accuracy, process optimization, and operational compliance
- Excellent communication skills in English (German is a plus) to act as a reliable liaison between suppliers, warehouse teams, Finance, and internal key stakeholders
- Location in or around Alzenau or Berlin, with availability for a 6-month temporary contract
WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU:
- Smart Working & Flexibility: Flexible working hours, hybrid work, and 20 days of workation. We trust you to take ownership: you deliver on our shared goals and structure your day in the way that works best for you. You’ll also start with 28 days of vacation, increasing by one additional day per year of tenure (capped at 30 days), so you always have time to recharge.
- Growth & Setup: A structured onboarding plan to get you started, plus a dedicated development budget for your personal and professional growth. You’ll also receive your own MacBook and a fully equipped office setup with monitors and height-adjustable desks.
- KoRo Life & Extras: Free snacks and barista coffee in the office, 20% discount in the KoRo Online-Shop, and exclusive perks with partner companies. On top of that, a fully funded BVG ticket (Jobticket), a subsidy for your fitness membership (Urban Sports Club, Hansefit, or FitX), and a company pension scheme (bAV) via Ginkgo.
- Shared Moments: Regular team events and company parties to celebrate milestones and successes together.
WE'RE LOOKING FOR PEOPLE WHO SHARE OUR MINDSET
For us, it's not just about the what, but above all about the how. You'll be a perfect fit for us if you have the following mindset:
- You take initiative and ownership. You don't wait for a perfect brief or a mandate to get started. When you see an opportunity, a risk, or something that can be improved - you act. When things don't go as planned, you look at your own contribution first and step up, without waiting to be asked.
- You thrive in change. Shifting priorities and evolving processes don't slow you down. You adapt fast and keep moving.
- You build, you don't wait. When something is missing - a tool, a process, a solution - you create it. You prefer a working MVP over a perfect plan and iterate from there.
- You think in leverage. You question how things are done, prioritize ruthlessly, and find smarter paths to better outcomes. You don't mistake effort for impact.
- You're a team player, humble and genuinely kind. You collaborate in and across teams, care about the people around you, and bring sparkles to the room. You speak up when you disagree, commit fully once a decision is made, and actively make the people around you better.
Own it – Move fast – Build it – Create impact – Lift others
