Product Manager with Sales & Purchasing 100 % (m/f/d) D/F
We are a modern, dynamic company and a leader in the distribution of nursery and horticultural products. For our team, we are looking for a personality who wants to take responsibility, think ahead, and develop further.
Whether you already bring professional experience or are at the beginning of your professional career: what is decisive for us is your drive, your willingness to learn, your interest in products, customers and markets, as well as your joy in finding solutions together with others.
What is your responsibility?
In this versatile position, you will work at the interface of Product Management, Sales and Purchasing. You will actively help shape our assortment, contribute market and customer needs, and support the continuous further development of our products.
Depending on your experience, you will take on responsibility from the very beginning or grow into the tasks step by step. In doing so, you will be accompanied by an experienced team and simultaneously given space to contribute your own ideas.
You are co-responsible for assortment design and optimization, so that we can offer our customers suitable and convincing solutions.
You analyze market and customer needs and contribute ideas for new products, adjustments or improvements.
You work closely with Sales, Marketing, Purchasing and Warehouse so that ideas are cleanly implemented in practice.
You are the contact person for specific customer inquiries, create offers and support consulting regarding our product assortment.
Depending on experience and the induction phase, you are also directly involved in customer consulting. Telephone customer contact helps you to get to know our customers, products and processes in a practical way.
You maintain contact with customers and suppliers and build sustainable relationships.
What you bring with you
A commercial education, a degree or a comparable foundation.
Initial professional experience is welcome, but not a requirement. More important are motivation, willingness to learn and the will to take responsibility.
If you already bring experience, we are pleased with your knowledge – but it is equally important to us that you remain open, learn new things and question existing solutions.
You are curious, think ahead and want to understand how products, customer needs, sales and purchasing are interconnected.
You enjoy working in a team, are reliable and bring a healthy dose of initiative.
You communicate openly, clearly and respectfully.
You enjoy approaching people and enjoy contact with customers, suppliers and internal interfaces.
Interest in gardening topics, nursery supplies or technical products is a plus.
You have fluent German skills and good English skills. Alternatively, you bring solid basic knowledge in English and are ready to expand these quickly (ideally before starting ;).
Why us?
You receive a versatile task with proximity to product, market, sales and purchasing.
You will be accompanied by a dedicated team and can simultaneously take on responsibility early on.
We offer you a dynamic environment with flat hierarchies and short decision-making paths.
With us, it is not just about what you can already do, but also what you want to learn and move.
You work in a company with around 50 years of history that is continuously developing.
You should not work at Hortima if...
status, title, education and department are important to you, because: we meet on equal terms – regardless of origin, status and position. Tasks, problem solutions and support occur across departments.
you have trouble with transparent work and therefore feel controlled, because: a learning organization means continuously receiving feedback – regardless of where it comes from – and learning from it how you can develop further.
you mainly think in 'right' and 'wrong', because: most questions and decisions cannot be answered with 'either/or'. "It depends – and on what?" is the guideline of our thinking.
enforcing rules is more important to you than designing rules, because: we need thinking designers who do not just accept existing structures, but actively develop them further.
your expertise is the main reason why you fit with us, because: expertise is transient and can be learned at any time. For us, the right attitude, mindset, motivation and ability to learn count above all – qualities that constitute our daily work.
your main arguments are "common sense", "others do it that way too" or "that's the way we've always done it", because: to find better solutions, we discuss openly and on equal terms. For this, we need constructive arguments that question and advance the status quo.
Ready to grow with us?
Then we look forward to your application. Even if you do not meet all points 100 %: If you bring motivation, willingness to learn and joy in products, customers and cooperation, we would like to get to know you.
IMPORTANT: Due to holiday absences, we will only get back to you after August 8th. Thank you very much for your patience. jpidbff691bjm jit0727jm jiy26jm
