About the Job

As a key growth accelerator, A11 partners with Europe’s most ambitious startups and scaleups, corporates, and SMBs to connect them with top-tier talent ready to make an impact.

We’re looking for an experienced Director of Trading & Procurement (m/f/d) to join and lead a team of young and hungry category managers, through high-volume purchasing decisions in a dynamic environment where prices, availability, and supplier landscapes shift constantly.

You will own end-to-end procurement strategy and execution: sourcing, onboarding to the system, supplier negotiations and disputes, pricing, team leadership, and process design. We need someone who can think strategically and execute operationally every single day — from setting category strategy to approving individual purchase orders. You will be in the driver seat to build the first AI automated trading engine - a unique opportunity in the industrial supply space.

You report directly to the SVP Operations and sit on the operations leadership team. Andercore uses AI extensively across the business; you will be expected to leverage it to drive efficiency, margins, and scalability in procurement.

In this role, you’ll:

• Build and run the procurement machine: Develop and execute procurement strategies that support a high 2-digit monthly procurement spend with exponential growth. Negotiate favourable terms, pricing, and contracts with suppliers on a daily basis.
• Lead and develop the team: Manage 10+ team members, set clear priorities daily, coach emerging team leads, and create a culture of accountability and speed. You will need to be assertive and hands-on.
• Create scalable processes: Design, implement, and continuously improve procurement workflows, playbooks, and controls. Processes are implemented in days and weeks at Andercore — not quarters and years.
• Own supplier relationships: Source, evaluate, and onboard suppliers. Maintain and expand a high-quality supplier network with strong retention across existing and emerging markets.
• Drive margin improvement: Identify cost-saving opportunities, optimise purchasing decisions, and improve payment terms to boost net revenue margin and cash cycle.
• Collaborate cross-functionally: Work closely with Sales, Customer Success, Logistics, Accounting, and Product & Engineering to align supply with demand and ensure operational excellence.
• Leverage data and AI: Use data to inform purchasing decisions, monitor supplier performance, and identify market trends. Embrace AI tools to automate and scale procurement operations.

Your Profile

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree from a top university or business school
• 2–5 years in a high-performance environment: Tier-1 strategy consulting (e.g. McKinsey, BCG, Bain) or commodity trading / high-velocity B2B procurement
• Proven ability to build processes and delegate effectively. You must be able to create systems that outlast your personal involvement — not do everything yourself
• Strong assertiveness and people leadership. You will manage a young team that needs clear direction, daily prioritisation, and coaching
• Ability to operate at both strategic and granular levels: setting category strategy in the morning and reviewing individual POs in the afternoon
• Excellent analytical and communication skills. Fluent English is required; German is a strong plus
• Comfortable with a high-intensity, fast-paced startup environment where priorities can shift daily
• Hard-working, proactive, and independent. Willing to go the extra mile to get the job done

Nice-to-Haves

• Experience in marketplaces, SaaS, or construction / infrastructure / energy materials.
• Exposure to AI-driven operations or automation of procurement workflows.
• Familiarity with cross-border trade and international supplier management.
