Purchase Associate
Work hands‑on with suppliers, shaping trading opportunities close to markets
Do you enjoy working close to the market, where relationships and commercial decisions make a real difference? At Abacus Medicine, you will work hands‑on with European suppliers and contribute actively to identifying new trading opportunities.
Drive meaningful change
As an Associate in Purchase PI, you will sit close to both the market and the business, playing a key role in shaping how we source and trade across Europe. This is not a back‑office position — you will actively engage with suppliers, analyse fast‑moving markets, and help turn opportunities into tangible results.
Your day‑to‑day work combines commercial analysis, relationship‑building, and negotiations, all with the shared goal of ensuring continuous supply while strengthening Abacus Medicine’s trading position. You will collaborate closely with internal stakeholders and contribute directly to the development of new and existing markets. The role involves travel across Europe several times per year, allowing you to build strong supplier relationships face‑to‑face.
Your main responsibilities include:
Building, maintaining, and developing strong, long‑term relationships with existing and new suppliers across Europe
Leading and driving supplier negotiations, securing competitive sourcing prices and favourable credit terms
Continuously monitoring and analysing sourcing markets to identify new products, suppliers, and trading opportunities
Working closely with Purchasers, Portfolio Managers, and Project Managers to ensure optimal trading conditions
Actively contributing to market development by opening new suppliers and establishing new supply chains
Process & Documentation Support: Ensure relevant commercial activities are followed up on and documented, enabling smooth collaboration with suppliers and internal stakeholders.
Your profile
You bring a strong commercial mindset and enjoy working in a dynamic, fast‑moving environment where decisions matter and timing is critical. You are motivated by responsibility and take pride in seeing your work translate into real commercial outcomes.
Additionally, we imagine that you’ll bring:
Experience from a commercially oriented role such as sales, purchasing, or commercial operations, where stakeholder interaction and sound commercial judgement were central
Strong analytical capabilities and the ability to translate market data and trends into well‑founded trading decisions
Clear and confident communication skills, enabling effective collaboration with both internal colleagues and external partners
A proactive, self‑driven approach with the ability to act decisively when markets or business needs change
A relationship‑focused mindset paired with commercial assertiveness and a focus on long‑term value creation
A structured and independent working style, with the ability to manage time and priorities in a high‑pace environment
Fluency in written and spoken English
Be part of an international community of people who care
You will join the Purchase Operations team, working closely with purchasers across different experience levels in a collaborative and supportive environment where knowledge‑sharing and daily cooperation are central to success.
Beyond your immediate team, you will be part of an international organisation characterised by strong cross‑functional collaboration, informal ways of working, and genuine social connection. At Abacus Medicine, we value trust, ambition, and belonging; whether through close teamwork, shared achievements, or social activities across teams and countries. Here, you are encouraged to take responsibility, be yourself, and grow alongside engaged colleagues who care about both the business and each other.
