# Sourcing Specialist II **Company**: Wolt **Location**: Helsinki, Finland **Experience**: mid **Job type**: full-time **Category**: Operations **Industry**: Technology **Apply**: https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/wolt/jobs/8359589?utm_source=yubhub.co&utm_medium=jobs_feed&utm_campaign=apply **Canonical**: https://yubhub.co/job/sourcing-specialist-ii-0c5209b4-7c7/ ## Description ## About the Role As a Sourcing Specialist II, you will own sourcing for merchant hardware across Deliveroo and Wolt. The category spans several product lines, each with its own vendors and buying mechanics: POS hardware, centrally kitted tablets and printers, and handheld scanners. You will partner with the business to understand requirements, manage vendor relationships, negotiate commercial terms, and keep supply moving, balancing cost, quality, risk, and speed. ## Responsibilities - Own the vendor relationship for one or more hardware categories, from day-to-day contact through commercial negotiation. - Step into live, time-sensitive issues, such as a stock shortage, a delivery delay, or a vendor price increase, and work out the fastest safe path through them. - Build forecasting, stock visibility, and vendor performance tracking in areas where none exists today, rather than inherit a finished process. - Negotiate pricing and commercial terms directly with manufacturers and distributors, across markets. - Research alternative vendors and devices when the current roster isn't delivering, and make the case for a change. - Coordinate with Supply Chain, Finance, and IT on forecasting, stock, delivery, and returns, and say plainly where something doesn't currently have an owner. - Track delivery performance, pricing, and vendor issues against agreed goals, and raise risks and recommendations early. - Bring a point of view and say so when something isn't working, even when that means challenging how things have been done so far. - Use AI tools to speed up research, analysis, and vendor comparisons. - Learn the category hands-on, through the live issues that come up, rather than from a fixed playbook. ## Requirements - Have a strong bias to action and are comfortable figuring things out without a script. - Bring curiosity and a genuine interest in learning how hardware sourcing and vendor management work, more than existing expertise in the category. - Speaking to truth, clearly and professionally, including when it means disagreeing or flagging a problem. - Take ownership of a problem and follow it through, rather than waiting to be told what happens next. - Exercise sound judgment and take a practical approach to solving problems in a fast-moving, sometimes ambiguous environment. - Bring a creative, entrepreneurial mindset, and would rather build something and improve it than wait for the perfect process. - Are organised and can manage several live issues and vendors at once, while keeping the right people informed. - Communicate clearly and build trust with stakeholders across functions and time zones. - Can use AI tools effectively to speed up research and analysis, and are keen to keep learning. ## Benefits No benefits mentioned.
