Procurement Clerk

Purchasing clerks are responsible for economically optimised purchasing in a production or trading company. They negotiate with suppliers, manage complaints and are familiar with the procurement process as part of the value chain. Purchasing clerks work primarily operationally in procurement processes, either independently or in close cooperation with the team or purchasing management. They support line managers in evaluating suppliers and prepare supplier visits and negotiations. They search the procurement markets specifically for alternatives, new products and suppliers. They analyse and calculate prices and take into account the legal basis for purchasing. They are also in regular contact with suppliers.
