Procurement Specialist (Late Shift)

Together we keep everyday life moving to build a better tomorrow.
At Hiab, exceptional operations start with empowered people and dynamic processes. As our Business Center in Sofia scales new heights, we are looking for a proactive Procurement Specialist (Late Shift 15:00 - 00:00) to drive operational excellence within our expanding team.

In this key role, you will power the Source-to-Receipt (STR) ecosystem—streamlining transactional procurement, unlocking value across corporate strategies, and keeping supplier relationships strong. Working alongside global cross-functional teams, you won’t just manage the daily operational flow; you’ll champion continuous improvement initiatives, generate smart automation ideas, and help shape the future of our workflows.

Main tasks and responsibilities:
Procurement Operations: Process and validate Purchase Requisitions, manage Purchase Orders (POs), oversee ETA management, and handle document changes, cancellations, and goods returns.
Supplier & Sourcing: Manage sourcing events and support supplier negotiations and contract approvals.
Issue Resolution: Resolve blocked invoices and credit notes related to price and quantity differences, and lead operational disputes with suppliers.

Process Enhancement: Identify continuous improvement opportunities, suggest workflow enhancements, generate RPA ideas, and support the Team Leader and Process Owner in implementing global policies and technologies.
Team Collaboration & Knowledge Sharing: Train and support new or less experienced team members and end-users. Maintain strong cross-functional relationships with Invoice-to-Pay (ITP), Vendor Master Data (VMD), and Corporate INP teams.

Reporting & Projects: Perform operational reporting, analyze purchasing data, and participate in process transitions, knowledge transfer, and work shadowing.
Compliance & Safety: Ensure all activities comply with global company guidelines, code of conduct, and internal controls, while actively maintaining health and safety standards.
What you’ll need to succeed:

Education:

Bachelor’s degree, preferably in International Trade, Supply Chain, Business Administration, or Economics.
Experience:

Minimum 2–3 years of hands-on experience in transactional procurement tasks and processes within a support role
Process Knowledge:

Strong familiarity with the Requisition-to-Receipt lifecycle. Knowledge of Vendor Master Data (VMD) and Invoice-to-Pay (ITP) is considered a distinct plus.
Technical Skills:

Hands-on experience working with procurement solutions (preferably SAP and Ivalua), procurement analytics tools, and Google Office tools.
Soft Skills:

Exceptional customer service orientation, strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, and excellent organizational skills.
Shift Alignment:

Full availability to work the designated Late Shift (15:00 - 00:00).
Languages:

Full professional proficiency in written and spoken English with strong interpersonal communication skills.
Benefits include:
Company-sponsored medical insurance
Transportation allowance
Food
