Your mission

At Hiab, exceptional operations start with empowered people and dynamic processes. As our Business Center in Sofia scales new heights, we are looking for a proactive Procurement Specialist (Late Shift 15:00 - 00:00) to drive operational excellence within our expanding team.

In this key role, you will power the Source-to-Receipt (STR) ecosystem—streamlining transactional procurement, unlocking value across corporate strategies, and keeping supplier relationships strong. Working alongside global cross-functional teams, you won’t just manage the daily operational flow; you’ll champion continuous improvement initiatives, generate smart automation ideas, and help shape the future of our workflows.

Key responsibilities

  • Procurement Operations: Process and validate Purchase Requisitions, manage Purchase Orders (POs), oversee ETA management, and handle document changes, cancellations, and goods returns.
  • Supplier & Sourcing: Manage sourcing events and support supplier negotiations and contract approvals.
  • Issue Resolution: Resolve blocked invoices and credit notes related to price and quantity differences, and lead operational disputes with suppliers.
  • Process Enhancement: Identify continuous improvement opportunities, suggest workflow enhancements, generate RPA ideas, and support the Team Leader and Process Owner in implementing global policies and technologies.
  • Team Collaboration & Knowledge Sharing: Train and support new or less experienced team members and end-users. Maintain strong cross-functional relationships with Invoice-to-Pay (ITP), Vendor Master Data (VMD), and Corporate INP teams.
  • Reporting & Projects: Perform operational reporting, analyze purchasing data, and participate in process transitions, knowledge transfer, and work shadowing.
  • Compliance & Safety: Ensure all activities comply with global company guidelines, code of conduct, and internal controls, while actively maintaining health and safety standards.

What we are looking for

  • Education: Bachelor’s degree, preferably in International Trade, Supply Chain, Business Administration, or Economics.
  • Experience: Minimum 2–3 years of hands-on experience in transactional procurement tasks and processes within a support role.
  • Process Knowledge: Strong familiarity with the Requisition-to-Receipt lifecycle. Knowledge of Vendor Master Data (VMD) and Invoice-to-Pay (ITP) is considered a distinct plus.
  • Technical Skills: Hands-on experience working with procurement solutions (preferably SAP and Ivalua), procurement analytics tools, and Google Office tools.
  • Soft Skills: Exceptional customer service orientation, strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, and excellent organizational skills.
  • Shift Alignment: Full availability to work the designated Late Shift (15:00 - 00:00).
  • Languages: Full professional proficiency in written and spoken English with strong interpersonal communication skills.

What we offer

You’ll join a forward-thinking global team with a true "Employees First" mindset. At Hiab, we combine a culture of trust and openness with continuous innovation — giving you the autonomy to lead, innovate, and grow with us.

Our benefits include

  • Excellent opportunities for career growth and professional development in an international environment.
  • Flexible hybrid work model combined with modern office space in Sofia.
  • 25 days of paid annual leave.
  • Extended health insurance, including dental coverage.
  • Monthly food vouchers.
  • Transportation allowance.
  • Optional Multisport card.
  • Employee referral bonus program.
  • Regular corporate events, social initiatives, and team-building activities.
  • A newborn gift package to celebrate your growing family.
