Job Opportunities in the Seedcamp Portfolio

We're growing our Procurement team and looking for a freelance Direct Buyer to support us.

Please note: this is a freelance (contract) engagement, not a permanent position. We'll align on contract duration, weekly capacity, and your day rate during the process.

As a freelance 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 work with our Head of Procurement and 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 work across new and B-stock sourcing, OEM relationships and supplier negotiations.

🎯 What you will contribute:

• 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 ✅

• 1-4 years' experience in direct buying/purchasing (within e-commerce or tech companies is preferred)
• Knowledge of the consumer electronics B-stock supplier industry in Poland/Eastern Europe is a significant advantage
• 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
• Organised and detail-oriented: you can manage multiple workstreams at once
• A registered freelance setup that allows you to work with clients in Germany
• Fluent English (C1+) and Native Lithuanian language skills

🚀 The Grover Way - How We Drive Success:

• Own It: We take ownership seriously and define what success looks like. We drive shared ownership and don't wait - we drive. We keep one another accountable and take responsibility when issues arise.
• Challenge, Decide, and Commit: We engage in proactive support, active listening, and healthy conflict to reach the best outcomes. We value diverse perspectives and, once a decision is made, we commit to it fully.
• Empower and Grow: We enable, trust, and coach one another toward high performance, always thinking and acting like owners. We seek growth, apply feedback, and support the development of our peers.
• Respect, Transparency, and Clarity: We strive for clear, respectful, and open communication with no surprises. We simplify complex information so everyone knows the "what, why, and how".

❤️‍🔥 What you will love about us:

• Real ownership from day one: your categories, your supplier relationships, your results
• A competitive day rate aligned with your experience
• Flexibility in how we shape the engagement, with a hybrid setup at our dog-friendly office in Berlin-Schöneberg
• 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! 👋
