Category Buyer, Inclusions (6-month FTC)

Join Tony’s Chocolonely in Making Chocolate More Ethical

Why we are here
At Tony’s Chocolonely, we are committed to ending exploitation in cocoa. We are an impact company that makes chocolate, not a chocolate company that makes impact. With incredibly tasty chocolate, we lead by example, demonstrating that ethical practices and success can go hand in hand. Through Tony's Open Chain (TOC), mission allies like Albert Heijn, Ben & Jerry's, Jokolade, and Aldi have embraced a fairer, more transparent supply chain for their chocolate too.

What you will do

As our Inclusion Buyer, you’ll make sure Tony’s inclusions—from caramel to pecans to pretzels—are responsibly sourced, well-priced, and delivered in full and on time. You’ll work closely with suppliers and internal teams to keep things running smoothly, even when plans change (because they will). Your days will be a mix of negotiating competitive prices with suppliers, contract work, problem-solving, and hands-on support for product and operations projects ensuring business continuity. You’ll spot issues early, raise flags and suggest mitigation plans while aligning procurement strategies with Tony’s growth ambition in mind. In short: you’ll keep our inclusions supply strong, fair, and fit for purpose. This is a 6-months maternity cover where you’ll report to our Procurement Manager.

Key responsibilities

• Manage the Inclusion supplier portfolio across EMEA and support global needs where required.
• Negotiate, draft, and manage supplier contracts within the new legal framework.
• Review volume contracts quarterly and align closely with Planning and S&OP.
• Support New Product Development and operations projects by sourcing inclusions in collaboration with R&D, QA, and Operations.
• Track commodity prices, manage PPV, and identify savings and improvement opportunities.

Job requirements

Our new flavor:

• Experience in FMCG procurement or buying roles.
• Proven experience with supplier negotiations and contracting.
• Strong commercial and financial awareness, including cost and budget management.
• Hands-on, flexible approach—you get things done in a fast-moving environment.
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills.
• We are all about being more in person than apart; this means we offer flexibility but see each other in the office on average 3 days a week. More is fine too!
• Believe wholeheartedly in Tony’s purpose. You live our core values: outspoken, in it together, entrepreneurial, raise the bar and makes you smile.

Our benefits (the icing on the cake)

At Tony's you will get the opportunity to be part of something extraordinary; first and foremost, by making real impact in the world but also enjoying the nice benefits we provide as you help us succeed. We’re dedicated to enabling all Tonys to grow and develop their careers and therefore we offer training programs, regular feedback cycles, coaching and a generous L&D budget. We also offer a wide range of additional benefits, including a luxurious vegetarian lunch, company bonus, minimum of 28 holidays, inspirational team updates, unforgettable events and unlimited chocolate. But we also know chocolate won’t cover the bills, so we’ve made sure your salary is just as rewarding, for this role that means a salary between EUR 55k-69k on a yearly basis, including holiday pay.
