Above all, we are looking for a professional capable of becoming quickly autonomous and bringing real added value to the company.
Holding a Bac+3 to Bac+5 degree, you have significant experience in industrial purchasing and procurement, ideally acquired within an SME or an environment where versatility, reactivity, and proximity to teams are essential.
You are comfortable in professional English, both written and spoken, in order to communicate effectively with international suppliers.
