Our Sourcer is technically oriented.
You will independently search and find potential suppliers, mainly in Europe. You will focus on potentially good selling products for our website. Together with our suppliers, you optimize products and packaging. Our compliance team will help you to make sure that the products meet EU regulations. You constantly have in mind that vidaXL provides customers with the most cost-efficient products.
Working out new product ideas and finding a supplier who can produce these ideas for the lowest cost. Together with the team you put this idea on paper, this can range from very simple to a detailed. Since many of our ideas are not standard, you probably must talk to the engineer or boss of the supplier to explain to them what we have in mind and why we believe that our plan is feasible.
Once it looks like there is a chance to cooperate and price level and technical requirements are workable together with your team and the supplier will be visited.
Since many projects are managed parallel and in different stages, on a daily base you are doing design, negotiations, follow-ups, travel, translation and work on a great new product line.
As an Assistant Buyer you are successful and have a hands-on attitude. You have the technical insights to look at factory samples and improve on costs and/or quality. You are strong in prioritizing and organizing your busy schedule. You aim for your product range to be popular in our sales channels. It makes you proud to provide a substantial piece of the revenue.

Take the opportunity to meet and work within a team of professionals with diverse cultural backgrounds who also have a few things in common… Ambition, fun and excellent skills.
vidaXL is growing faster than the speed of light in the field of e-commerce. We’ve been doubling our figures every year since our foundation in 2013. All of this in our own bold and down-to-earth way. With 31 webshops, 6 international offices, and 120 million unique visitors a year that pretty much feels like the right way.
If you have the ambition and drive, a lot is possible within vidaXL. With a growing/evolving company, you have the ability to grow with it.
I could not foresee the personal growth I made within the last 6 years, and I hope the best is yet to come.
I’m working @ vidaXL for 5 years. I started as a Performance Marketer and now follow my passion as Creative Brand Manager.
I’m excited to continue my journey on this purple-confetti-rocket ride and the opportunities that come with it!
