Supply Operations Poland | Berlin

TechTree's client is hiring a Supply Operations Poland professional to grow its Polish supplier network within the European recycled materials market.

Despite the title, this is a highly commercial role. You'll spend much of your time speaking directly with suppliers, negotiating price and terms, converting opportunities, and helping drive revenue.

• Location: Berlin, Germany
• Work model: Hybrid — around 3 days/week in the office
• Employment: Full-time
• Compensation: €60,000–€70,000 + equity
• Experience: Typically 2–6 years
• Market: Poland

What you'll own

• Grow and activate the company's network of Polish suppliers
• Contact recyclers and suppliers directly through phone, email, and messaging
• Convert existing and new supplier leads into active commercial relationships
• Negotiate pricing, volumes, quality, and commercial terms
• Match available materials with customer demand
• Own supplier cooperation across key accounts and projects
• Work closely with the Sales team to support revenue growth
• Visit suppliers and relevant industry events when needed
• Bring market insights back into internal processes and operations

What we're looking for

• Native Polish and professional English
• Hands-on experience in a commercial role involving external stakeholders
• Confidence with cold outreach, negotiation, and closing
• Experience owning a sales quota, purchasing target, revenue target, margin, or similar commercial KPI
• Comfortable personally doing the outreach rather than managing it from a distance
• High ownership, initiative, and comfort working in an early-stage environment
• Based in Berlin or genuinely open to relocating
• Comfortable working from the Berlin office around 3 days per week

Strong advantages

• Startup, scale-up, or owner-led SME experience
• Purchasing, sourcing, procurement, sales, or commercial operations experience
• Exposure to physical goods, commodities, plastics, chemicals, packaging, metals, recycling, manufacturing, or industrial products
• Evidence of high agency outside work — such as building a business, community, organisation, or side project
• German or additional Slavic/Baltic languages

Why consider this opportunity?

• Direct ownership of an important European market
• Commercial impact visible from the first months
• Early-stage environment with significant autonomy
• Work closely with the founding and commercial teams
• Base salary plus meaningful equity
• Opportunity to help scale a fast-growing sustainable materials business
