Your work will directly impact their ability to create, share, and enjoy their craft – and that’s something we’re incredibly proud of.

Our fun and passionate Product & Procurement team
Your colleagues are incredibly friendly and come from all over the world, so expect a high level of diversity and cultural richness. Lunch conversations range from politics in Portugal to weddings in Romania and camping tips for exploring Denmark.
The team is a talented group of people from different backgrounds from Product Development and Procurement to Graphic Design, Forecasting, Photography and Logistics. We thrive on teamwork, sharing ideas and combining our strengths to drive real results.
Oh, and did we mention our Friday bars? They’re often themed – and always fun.
Who's got your back
You’ll report to our Category Manager of Yarn, a seasoned expert in sourcing, procurement, and negotiation. She’s the kind of manager who will challenge you, support your development, and celebrate your wins – big or small – with genuine excitement.

Your role
As our new Buyer, you’ll have the negotiation skills to secure the best deals, whether it being the price of a new product or finding solutions to constraints in your supplier's production lines? You'll be responsible for managing your own portfolio of mainly European suppliers, driving both sourcing, order handling and procurement processes. You’ll negotiate the best prices and terms, ensuring a constant flow in all production orders while keeping a sharp eye on performance – both on your suppliers but also on your own product range. You ask the right questions and make well-informed calls and you take ownership and get things done.
You’ll also play a key role in spotting emerging yarn trends, sourcing new qualities, and working closely with colleagues in Logistics, Warehouse, Marketing, and Finance to keep everything on track.

Manage sourcing and production of own supplier portfolio
Negotiate prices and terms and secure the best deals
