You make the difference in foodservice!

From disposables to professional cleaning products. As Sourcing Manager Non-Food for our Private Label at Bidfood, you are responsible for your own purchasing portfolio within our house brand assortment.

You buy directly from the source, work extensively with international suppliers, and receive the freedom to further develop your category.

You will start working as a Sourcing Manager Non-Food Private Label. What is important in this role:

• You follow market developments and research new products, suppliers, and commercial opportunities. You analyze cost prices and margins and use these insights to make well-founded purchasing decisions.

• You purchase directly from manufacturers worldwide. You approach suppliers, issue tenders, and compare offers on price, quality, and logistical feasibility.

• You negotiate prices and commercial terms and record agreements in contracts. Where necessary, you visit suppliers, for example to strengthen the partnership or to check quality.

• You independently formulate the purchasing policy for your categories and execute this based on the strategic purchasing plan and the associated objectives.

• You guide new products from purchasing to introduction. You coordinate with Sales, Supply Chain, and Masterdata, ensure all information is correct, and monitor planning and deadlines.
