As a Purchase Officer, you are the right hand of the Purchase Manager. You are primarily responsible for taking over administrative tasks and act as the central link in the ordering process of packaging materials for one of our Belgian production sites or specific product groups.
You proactively ensure that all packaging materials are delivered on time and are constantly looking for improvements, both large and small. You interpret data in such a way that you can make the right combinations before placing orders. You respond flexibly to production changes and potential delivery issues with suppliers.

- Proactively following up on order confirmations and deliveries to ensure a smooth supply.
- Monitoring stock levels and ensuring they remain under control.
- Handling and following up on complaints related to quality and deliveries, and providing appropriate solutions.
- Managing contracts and price agreements in the ERP system (SAP); experience with SAP is an asset.
- Checking deviating invoices and preventing errors through accurate master data management.

This is what we expect from you:
- You have a bachelor's degree or equivalent through experience.
- You have a background in a technical or economic field – or a strong interest in these domains.
- You already have several years of experience in a production environment. Experience in a similar role? That’s definitely a plus!

- You work independently, proactively, and hands-on.
