Junior Procurement / Sourcing Analyst

About Partao

• Own the Find My Part pipeline: hard to find customer-requested parts either from our verified vendors or by sourcing new vendors. 
• Compare supplier offers across price, lead time, and reliability to make smart sourcing decisions.
• Build and manage a growing portfolio of suppliers within your scope.
• Work closely with Customer Service to keep customers informed and unblock issues quickly.
• Maintain clean, accurate supplier and order data.
• Continuously improve how we source, validate, and fulfill hard-to-find parts.
• Support supplier onboarding and keep supplier databases updated.

• 1–2 years experience in procurement, sourcing, category support, or a commercial operations role.
• Bachelor’s degree in business, engineering, supply chain, or a related field preferred.
• Strong problem-solving mindset — you enjoy figuring things out when the answer isn’t obvious.
• Commercial curiosity — you care about pricing, lead times, and supplier trade-offs.
• Comfortable working with spreadsheets and basic data analysis.
• Highly organised, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple requests in parallel.
• Strong English communication skills (written and spoken). Added advantage if you speak a European language. 
• Hungry to learn and grow in a fast-paced startup environment.

• Experience supporting or working in procurement, sourcing, or category operations.
• Exposure to marketplaces, e-commerce, or B2B platforms.
• Curiosity or background in mechanical, industrial, or technical products.
• Comfort speaking with suppliers and asking the “awkward” commercial questions.
• Ability to spot patterns in repeat requests and turn one-off sourcing into reusable supply.
• A natural bias for action — you’d rather try, learn, and iterate than wait for perfect instructions.
• Ambition to grow into a full Category / Vendor Manager role over time.
