Description

About the Role We’re hiring a Junior Category / Vendor Manager to own one of the most critical functions at Partao: Find My Part. This role sits at the frontline of our marketplace. Every day, you’ll help source parts that customers can’t find anywhere else — either because they’re highly specific, backordered, or not yet available through our existing suppliers. This is a hands-on, execution-heavy role designed for someone early in their commercial or procurement career who wants to learn fast, take ownership, and grow into a full category role over time. Key Responsibilities Own the Find My Part pipeline: hard to find customer-requested parts either from our verified vendors or by sourcing new vendors. Compare supplier offers across price, lead time, and reliability to make smart sourcing decisions. Build and manage a growing portfolio of suppliers within your scope. Work closely with Customer Service to keep customers informed and unblock issues quickly. Maintain clean, accurate supplier and order data. Continuously improve how we source, validate, and fulfill hard-to-find parts. Support supplier onboarding and keep supplier databases updated. Requirements 1–2 years experience in procurement, sourcing, category support, or a commercial operations role. Bachelor’s degree in business, engineering, supply chain, or a related field preferred. Strong problem-solving mindset — you enjoy figuring things out when the answer isn’t obvious. Commercial curiosity — you care about pricing, lead times, and supplier trade-offs. Comfortable working with spreadsheets and basic data analysis. Highly organised, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple requests in parallel. Strong English communication skills (written and spoken). Added advantage if you speak a European language. Hungry to learn and grow in a fast-paced startup environment. Bonus Points Experience supporting or working in procurement, sourcing, or category operations. Exposure to marketplaces, e-commerce, or B2B platforms. Curiosity or background in mechanical, industrial, or technical products. Comfort speaking with suppliers and asking the “awkward” commercial questions. Ability to spot patterns in repeat requests and turn one-off sourcing into reusable supply. A natural bias for action — you’d rather try, learn, and iterate than wait for perfect instructions. Ambition to grow into a full Category / Vendor Manager role over time.
