🚀 Purchasing Manager / Sourcing Specialist
Amazon FBA | China Suppliers | Remote (Europe)
📍 Location: Europe (100% Remote)
🕒 Employment: Full-time
🏭 Industry: E-commerce / Amazon FBA / Private Label
🔍 About the Role
We’re hiring a Purchasing Manager / Sourcing Specialist to own supplier sourcing, negotiation, and execution for a fast-growing Amazon-focused eCommerce brand.
This is a hands-on, operator-level role. You will work directly with China-based manufacturers and be accountable for cost, quality, timelines, and landed margins — from RFQs and samples through POs, freight, and delivery into FBA or 3PL.
If you love negotiating, obsess over landed cost accuracy, and enjoy running sourcing like a business — you’ll thrive here 💥
🧠 What You’ll Own
📌 Source, vet, and onboard overseas manufacturers (primarily China)
📌 Run RFQs and negotiate pricing, MOQs, lead times, and payment terms
📌 Build and maintain accurate landed cost models (product, freight, duties, FBA fees, margins)
📌 Coordinate samples, specs, packaging, labeling, and regulatory compliance
📌 Create and manage POs from production through delivery (FBA / 3PL)
📌 Track supplier performance: OTIF, cost accuracy, quality, defect rates
📌 Proactively resolve delays, quality issues, and cost variances
📌 Drive cost-saving initiatives (negotiation, packaging optimization, freight consolidation, alternate sourcing)
📌 Support inventory replenishment and demand planning with clean, reliable data
📌 Document processes and continuously improve sourcing workflows
🧩 What We’re Looking For
✅ 3+ years in purchasing, sourcing, or supply chain (Amazon FBA / eCommerce preferred)
✅ Proven experience negotiating with China-based factories
✅ Strong understanding of landed cost, margins, and Amazon fee structures
✅ Comfortable pushing back on suppliers and holding them accountable
✅ Solid knowledge of QC checkpoints and basic product compliance
✅ Advanced Excel / Google Sheets skills (cost models, scenarios, tracking)
✅ Highly organized, detail-oriented, and execution-focused
✅ Able to work independently in a fast-paced, remote environment
✅ Clear communicator who documents decisions and follows through
⭐ Nice to Have (Not Required)
➕ Experience with Amazon tools (Helium 10, Keepa)
➕ Exposure to EDI, inventory planning, or demand forecasting
➕ Experience sourcing regulated products (home improvement, replacement parts)
➕ Familiarity with total cost of ownership (TCO) analysis
🎁 What We Offer
💵 $2,000–$3,000/month + monthly performance bonuses
📈 Significant career growth potential
🌍 100% remote role with flexibility
🧘 Paid time off + flexible work schedule
📊 High-impact role with autonomy and visibility
🎯 Direct influence on revenue, rankings, and product success
🧠 This Role Is for You If…
✔ You’re data-obsessed and love finding ways to win
✔ You thrive with autonomy and ownership
✔ You’re scrappy, resourceful, and results-driven
✔ You enjoy wearing multiple hats and driving measurable growth
