About this role
Project A's Ecosystem Company is building an AI-driven supply chain platform that's scaling rapidly across Europe and beyond. As Procurement Manager in Berlin, you'd own supplier relationships and sourcing strategy for a business processing triple-digit million GMV—meaning you'd be negotiating contracts worth €1M+ with suppliers across Europe and globally, finding new partners, and onboarding them into the platform. The role sits at the intersection of commercial growth and operational efficiency: you'd shape procurement strategy, track market trends, and work closely with Sales and Operations to identify automation and cost-saving opportunities that keep the supply chain competitive.
This is a hands-on position suited to someone with proven procurement and supply chain contracting experience who thrives in fast-moving, founder-led environments. You'd need strong analytical and negotiation skills, genuine curiosity about how AI and automation can transform supply chains, and the independence to solve problems without heavy oversight. Fluency in German or Italian is required alongside strong English; the role is full-time and in-office in Berlin.
The opportunity appeals to people who want entrepreneurial scope within a scaling business backed by experienced founders and top-tier investors. You'd have real influence over how the company sources and operates, rather than executing a predetermined playbook.
