Whether it's baked goods, frozen foods, dairy products, ready meals, or other fast-moving items: this category shapes customer satisfaction, ensures loyal customers, and significantly determines how people experience our brand.

To further advance this important segment, we are looking for a Junior Buyer starting immediately. Do you love working with data, having direct contact with suppliers, and the daily operational business? And do you want to develop step by step into a strategically strong category role?
