About Grover
Founded in 2015, Grover enables consumers and businesses across Europe to subscribe to tech devices and comprehensive technology solutions - from individual smartphones, laptops, and wearables to full corporate device setups. The company offers access to over 1,000 unique tech items on flexible and financially convenient terms. A pioneer of the circular economy, Grover refurbishes and recirculates devices to help eliminate e-waste.
We're growing our Procurement team in Berlin and looking for a Direct Buyer to join us.
As Direct Buyer, you'll sit at the heart of one of the fastest-moving parts of our business, sourcing the devices that power Grover's subscription catalogue across Europe. You'll report to our Head of Procurement and work closely with Category Management. We're scaling into a full procurement function, so you'll get real ownership and visible impact from day one: hands-on experience across new and B-stock sourcing, OEM relationships and supplier negotiations. Hit your stride early and there's a clear path to Direct Procurement Lead.
What you'll own 🎯
- One of our fastest-growing categories, mainly smart home, TV and audio, with exposure across the wider portfolio
- Sourcing stock at the right price: your first 90 days are about finding available inventory while hitting a 15–20% discount vs RRP
- The procurement strategy behind your categories, plus access to trade fairs and industry events as we bring new products on board
What you bring ✅
- 1–3 years' experience in procurement, buying or supply chain (ecommerce or tech preferred)
- Strong negotiation and communication skills: you're comfortable talking directly with suppliers
- An analytical mindset, confident working with data and spreadsheets
- Knowledge of consumer electronics categories (mobile, audio, smart home, TV) is a plus
- Fluent English; another European language is a bonus
- Organised and detail-oriented: you can manage multiple workstreams at once
