The posting

YOUR ROLE

As our (Senior) Purchasing Manager / Strategic Buyer you will take full ownership of a defined supplier portfolio or category, ensuring seamless execution within our purchasing process while actively contributing to inventory optimization and operational excellence.

- Establish a best-in-class Category Architecture: Design and implement a clear category structure across all spend, identifying key leverage areas, critical dependencies, and bottleneck categories.

- Lead high-impact cross-functional projects: Take ownership of critical initiatives such as the Raw Material Replacement project - a highly visible, cross-functional program requiring strong stakeholder alignment across procurement, R&D, Quality, Finance and Operations.

- Drive strategic transformation through data: Build transparency across our procurement landscape by structuring and analyzing spend data, enabling better decisions, prioritization, and negotiation strategies.

- Embed a robust risk management approach: Introduce structured risk frameworks across suppliers and categories, integrating quality and supply risk to strengthen long-term resilience.

- Drive structured cost optimization: Identify and execute COGS reduction opportunities through deep data analysis, Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) thinking, and targeted supplier negotiations.

- Strengthen procurement processes and standards: Further develop and refine procurement processes (e.g. P2P workflows, SOPs), ensuring scalability, clarity, and high adoption across the team.

YOUR PROFILE

- Background & Experience: 5+ years of experience in strategic procurement, category management, or supply chain - ideally in FMCG, food or pharma. Experience in supplements would be highly valuable, but we also welcome candidates from similar industries with comparable complexity.

- Strong Data & Analytical Mindset: You are highly data-driven and comfortable working with large datasets. You know how to translate data into insights, priorities, and concrete actions.

- Project Management Excellence: Proven track record of leading complex, cross-functional projects with multiple stakeholders - from structuring the problem to driving execution.

- Strategic Thinking: You understand how procurement creates value beyond cost - through structure, transparency, and long-term supplier strategies.

- Stakeholder Management: You are confident working across functions such as R&D, quality, operations, and leadership - aligning different interests and driving decisions forward.

- Process Orientation: You think in systems and processes, and know how to refine and scale existing structures without overengineering.

- Tools & Tech: Experience with ERP systems (e.g. Odoo/MRP), and analytical tools such as Tableau or similar BI tools.

- Language Skills: Fluent in English (C1); German is a plus.

- We offer 28 days of paid time off per year plus up to 5 days off between Christmas and New Year

- The Urban Sports Club membership and either Swapfiets bike rental or a subsidy for the Deutschlandticket

- We believe great things happen when we meet in person, which is why we embrace a hybrid model with one home office day per week – up to two depending on the area you are working in – and up to two weeks per year working from abroad

- Receive various discounts of up to more than 50 percent on attractive brands such as Flaconi, Bosch, Apple or Expedia

- You will be given real ownership and plenty of room for new initiatives, as well as the opportunity to contribute your expertise and implement your great ideas

Sunday Natural emerged from a long-standing passion and research in the fields of health, healing, and personal growth. The lack of natural, high-quality products on the market was the original motivation for founding Sunday Natural in 2013. We aim to produce the products we ourselves would love to buy – as natural as possible, absolutely pure, free from any additives, and of the highest quality. In a strategic partnership with CVC, Sunday Natural is now one of Germany's most renowned quality manufacturers, with its own research and development department in Berlin. For the continuous improvement of our products, we collaborate with selected research institutes, scientists, therapists, farmers, and professional associations.

Our diverse team in Berlin consists of over 400 employees from more than 45 nationalities and continues to grow – but at a sustainable pace. Our goal is to foster a collaborative, supportive, and inclusive work environment with a diverse group of motivated, talented, and visionary team members.

We highly value equality of opportunity and inclusivity, and we would like to particularly encourage women and candidates from under-represented backgrounds to apply, even if you don’t match with 100% of the requirements.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
