Woodpecker. Shopping? Sure. But please with brains, drive, and impact.

You can do more than just click orders? You have an overview, think ahead, and get things done? Then you are in the right place with us. Here you will get responsibility, team spirit, and room for clever ideas – from day one.

Your tasks – with impact and foresight

• Ensure supply: You ensure the availability of your items across locations – budget-conscious and forward-thinking.
• Manage purchasing: From ordering to complaints – you keep the threads in hand and think one step ahead.
• Support suppliers: You maintain not just data, but real relationships – through visits, exchanges, and a good sense for people.
• Keep systems in check: You ensure clean ERP data – because they are the basis for strong decisions.
• Live teamwork: You work closely with logistics, product management, and sales – solution-oriented and across locations.
• Drive optimization:

Your toolbox – what you bring

• Education plus know-how: Commercial or technical basic training, ideally with further training in purchasing (e.g., purchasing specialist).
• Experience that matters: At least 5 years of purchasing experience in construction, trade, industry, or with consumer goods? Perfect!
• International experience? Nice to have! Experience with global sourcing is a plus – not a must.
• You think along, speak plainly: Communicative, structured, solution-oriented – you bring horsepower to the road.
• Tech-savvy & IT-secure: MS Office is your daily bread, ERP systems your tools.
• Languages? Sure! You speak and write confidently in German – and bring good English skills.

Your plus at Woodpecker – what we offer you

• More than just a desk: Responsibility that makes sense. Your area, your decisions – and a team that counts on you.
• Flat hierarchies, short paths: Ideas? Bring them on! We love fresh input – and implement it.
• Appreciation that you can feel: You are part of our Woodpecker family. Togetherness, respect, and humor are just as important to us as team outings, location events, and celebrations.
• Top benefits: Five weeks of vacation, flexible working models with the possibility of home office, strong social benefits, and much more that makes your everyday life even better.
• Real perspectives: Do you want to further develop your expertise or specialize?

We promote your personal development.
