Raw Materials & Packaging Buyer, Sourcing Manager

NATURTREU

• As Raw Materials & Packaging Buyer (m/f/d) you are responsible for procuring raw materials and packaging for our product portfolio, with a particular focus on international sourcing — especially from China. • You build and develop supplier relationships, manage quality and delivery processes, and bring deep market knowledge of raw materials and packaging. • You source raw materials for dietary supplements nationally and internationally — with an emphasis on suppliers from China and the Asia-Pacific region. • You identify, qualify and develop new suppliers and establish a resilient supplier network. • You maintain existing supplier relationships and negotiate prices, terms and contracts — including in English. • You procure packaging materials (e.g. bottles, cans, pouches, labels, cartons) taking into account design, quality, regulatory requirements and cost. • You coordinate sampling and approval of new packaging together with Product Development and Quality Assurance. • You monitor trends and innovations in the packaging market and contribute new ideas. • You prepare procurement proposals based on requirements analyses and ensure a stable material supply. • You oversee the entire order process including delivery dates, customs and import handling, and quality inspection at goods receipt. • You document all relevant processes and supplier information in a structured manner. • You work closely with Quality Assurance and ensure that all raw materials and packaging meet regulatory requirements. • You handle complaints and develop sustainable measures with suppliers to improve quality. • You track developments in relevant raw material and packaging markets and derive savings potential as well as recommendations for action. • You produce regular reports on costs, supplier performance and purchasing KPIs.

Job Requirements

  • You have at least 3 years of hands-on experience in purchasing raw materials and/or packaging, ideally in dietary supplements, food, cosmetics or Health & Beauty.
  • You have proven experience sourcing from China and are familiar with common platforms (e.g. Alibaba, CIFTIS).
  • You know different packaging types, materials and their specific requirements and have experience coordinating sampling and approval processes.
  • You negotiate confidently on an international level and achieve sustainable results.
  • You have a strong sense for quality requirements and understand the regulatory framework in your area.
  • You work data-driven, identify price risks early and proactively develop countermeasures.
  • You organize your work independently, drive projects forward on your own initiative and act as a reliable interface between suppliers and internal teams.
  • You actively use AI tools to accelerate supplier research, analyze market data or make communication processes more efficient — and you are curious about how AI will further transform procurement.
  • You speak fluent German and business-fluent English. Chinese (Mandarin) is a clear plus.

Benefits

  • 100% remote within Germany
  • Up to 90 days per year of mobile working from elsewhere in the EU
  • 30 days of paid vacation per year
