<h2><strong>About Andercore</strong></h2><p style="min-height:1.5em">Andercore is the AI-native supplier of industrial materials for energy, infrastructure, and construction in wholesale and beyond.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">We trade with global suppliers and distribute to European customers on our own account. Our AI runs the full trade and distribution end-to-end: sourcing, quality, pricing, sales, logistics, and embedded financing. For the customer, it feels like buying from their preferred local supplier; for our partners, it is the most convenient and safe way to do business across borders. Behind it, our software and agentic AI do the heavy lifting that used to take an asset-intensive supply chain with four or five intermediaries and weeks of manual coordination.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">Where we are today:</p><ul style="min-height:1.5em"><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Strong triple-digit-million euro turnover</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Seven European markets live</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">80+ people across Berlin (HQ), offices in London, Mumbai, and Shanghai</p></li></ul><p style="min-height:1.5em">$40M Series B just closed, $75M raised to date from Atomico, Project A, and Inven Capital, institutional financing from international banks.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">We are building the world's first and last industrial-grade AI operating system for materials, redefining how global trade works in one of the largest and most essential industries on earth.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em"></p><h2>What You Will Do</h2><ul style="min-height:1.5em"><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Identify, engage, and acquire suppliers across Europe and worldwide.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Lead negotiations for pricing, payment terms, and contracts of €1M+ procurement spend.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Build strong commercial relationships that fuel company growth and ensure reliable supply.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Develop and execute strategic plans to drive operational growth and efficiency, aligning with the company's global objectives.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Collaborate with Sales and operational teams to solve issues and improve operational processes that leverage automation and data.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Analyze performance data, track key KPIs, and deliver actionable insights to optimize end-to-end supply chain operations.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Analyze market trends, supplier capabilities, and pricing structures, and adjust strategy accordingly.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Identify cost-saving opportunities and drive continuous improvement initiatives.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Support long-term sourcing plans and risk mitigation strategies.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Resolve supplier-related issues, including quality, delivery, or compliance concerns.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em"></p></li></ul><h2>Who You Are</h2><ul style="min-height:1.5em"><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">You are experienced in procurement sourcing and supply chain contracting, and eager to take on responsibility in a fast-scaling, tech-driven environment.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">You have strong analytical and negotiation skills, and can clearly articulate complex subjects with confidence and precision.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">You bring a hands-on mentality — you take ownership, solve problems independently, and thrive in dynamic settings.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">You are motivated by technology-driven transformation and curious about how AI can reshape global supply chains.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">French or/and Italian Fluently and strong verbal and written communication skills in English.</p></li></ul><p style="min-height:1.5em"></p><h2>What's In It for You</h2><ul style="min-height:1.5em"><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Real ownership from day one — shape operational processes in a fast-scaling, AI-first company.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Learn from the best — work directly with senior operators.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Competitive compensation — attractive base salary and performance-based bonus program.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Personal growth &amp; visibility — rapid learning opportunities, cross-functional exposure, and early leadership potential in a growing global team.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Vibrant company culture — modern Berlin office, monthly All-Hands, team events, and regular offsites.</p></li></ul><h2>Why Join Us!</h2><p style="min-height:1.5em">You'll be joining a company that's not only transforming a global industry but doing so with the speed, precision, and intelligence of AI.
