About Grover

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
What you'll love about us 💚
- BVG monthly ticket to get you around Berlin
- Mental health support with Nilo.health
- One paid volunteering day a month
- Physical health support with Urban Sports Club
- €750 annual learning budget
- Exclusive Grover discounts for you and your loved ones
- A dog-friendly, open office in Berlin-Schöneberg with regular team events
- A global team of 75+ nationalities, genuinely some of the nicest people you'll work with
Join the Grover Rocketship, where your impact is felt and, together, we build a more circular world. 🚀
We can't wait to e-meet you! 👋
