Junior Sourcing Manager
HelloFresh · Paris
About the role: What’s in the Box
As Junior Sourcing Manager, you’ll join our international Procurement team. The team brings new ingredients to life for millions of HelloFresh meals across Europe. Whenever our culinary and product teams dream up a new recipe, we find the right suppliers to make it happen.
Based in Paris, you’ll be the bridge between our French suppliers and our procurement and supply chain colleagues. You’ll manage new ingredient requests from the first idea through to supplier onboarding, and work closely with our Category Managers to keep everything aligned with our wider sourcing strategy. It’s a varied role with a strong focus on innovation, where you’ll learn how international sourcing works from start to finish. You’ll also help make sure our customers get exciting, high-quality ingredients at the right cost, every week.
Please note: For junior positions, we are unable to offer visa or work permit sponsorship, either now or in the future. To be considered, you must have the legal right to work in France
What you’ll do: The Recipe
- Manage new ingredient requests from first idea to launch, coordinating between our culinary, product, supply chain and procurement teams.
- Find and assess suppliers for new ingredients, request and compare offers, and support supplier onboarding.
- Work with Food Safety & Quality and culinary teams to fine-tune ingredient specifications, balancing cost, quality and performance.
- Review new ingredient proposals to spot opportunities to use existing products or suppliers from other markets, supporting our Category Managers with cost savings.
- Use data and Generative AI tools to analyse supplier offers, costs and market trends, and turn your findings into clear recommendations.
- Keep local and international stakeholders aligned on project progress, and take on more ownership of projects and supplier relationships as you grow.
What you’ll bring: The Ingredients
- A bachelor’s or master’s degree, for example in business, supply chain, engineering, or food science.
