Procurement & Supply Chain Specialist

As Procurement & Supply Chain Specialist, you are the central purchasing point for our group. Working from our UAE entity, you convert ERP dispositions into accurate purchase orders across all our companies, manage suppliers and negotiations, and keep the order and delivery process running reliably for our sites in Austria, Germany, and the UAE. In addition, you own our intercompany buy-and-sell process, acting as internal supplier and internal buyer in one role. You will be part of a focused three-person purchasing team. Your structured, precise, and reliable working style, combined with a solid technical understanding of product structures and specifications, will make you a central part of our operations. Your Responsibilities: Central Procurement & Order Management (all group entities) • Convert dispositions from our ERP system (AP+) into purchase orders and place them with the correct supplier, for all group entities (Austria, Germany, UAE). • Before ordering, verify that articles are correctly set up and processed and that prices and conditions are properly maintained in the system. • Check incoming order confirmations against our purchase orders and keep the ERP system accurately updated. • Track delivery dates, process reminders, and proactively coordinate any date changes with inside sales. Supplier Management & Negotiation • Negotiate with suppliers on pricing and additional discounts, bundle demand where possible, and request alternative or backup suppliers when needed. • Build and maintain reliable, long-term supplier relationships with partners in Europe and Asia. • Handle supplier complaints and claims and drive them to resolution. Intercompany Sales & Purchasing (UAE entity) • Act as our internal intercompany supplier: receive requests from our own group entities, source from the correct external supplier, calculate the intercompany margin, and quote back to the requesting entity. • On order, execute the full intercompany chain – purchasing from the external supplier and confirming the internal sale – with clean, accurate confirmations at each step. Logistics & Delivery Coordination • Inform logistics at the Austrian and German sites which goods arrive when and where. • Request and coordinate freight forwarders for consolidated transports. Your Requirements: • Proven hands-on experience running the complete end-to-end cycle – from purchasing through quotation to order execution – within an industrial or manufacturing company. This is the single most important qualification for this role. • Minimum 8 years' professional experience in procurement, central purchasing, and/or order management, ideally in a technical or industrial environment. • Proven experience running both the purchasing and the (intercompany) sales side in one role – experience gained at a UAE/GCC-based company is a strong advantage. • Strong, well-founded ERP knowledge (e.g. SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics/Navision, or comparable); candidates who work confidently in any major ERP will quickly learn our system. • High data discipline: order-confirmation checking, master-data and price maintenance, and accurate system upkeep. • Strong negotiation skills and a commercially minded, cost-conscious approach. • Solid understanding of international supply chains, trade flows, and Incoterms. • Technical background or an engineering degree is a strong advantage, enabling you to understand product structures, materials, and specifications (experience with engineering plastics or comparable industrial materials is a plus). • Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Office, especially Excel. • Independent, structured, and detail-oriented working style with high process reliability. • Fluent English required; German or additional languages are a strong plus. • Bachelor's degree (preferred). Your Benefits: • Full-time position, Monday to Friday, offering a strong work-life balance. • Competitive permanent salary from 8,000.00 AED per month (depending on qualifications and experience). • A central role with real ownership across the group and direct impact in a growing, technically driven company. • Modern office environment in JLT, conveniently located near a metro station. • Long-term career prospects with room for professional development.
