Direct Buyer (m/w/x)
About this role
About Grover
Founded in 2015, Grover enables consumers and businesses across Europe to subscribe to tech devices and comprehensive technology solutions - from individual smartphones, laptops, and wearables to full corporate device setups. The company offers access to over 1,000 unique tech items on flexible and financially convenient terms. A pioneer of the circular economy, Grover refurbishes and recirculates devices to help eliminate e-waste.
We're growing our Procurement team and are looking for a Direct Buyer to join us full-time (40 hours/week) in Berlin, hybrid 3 days per week (Tues-Thurs) at our HQ.
As Direct Buyer, you'll sit at the heart of one of the fastest-moving parts of our business, sourcing the devices that power Grover's subscription catalogue across Europe. You'll report to our Head of Procurement and work closely with Category Management. We're scaling into a full procurement function, so you'll get real ownership and visible impact from day one: hands-on experience across new and B-stock sourcing, OEM relationships and supplier negotiations. Hit your stride early and there's a clear path to Direct Procurement Lead.
What you'll own 🎯
- One of our fastest-growing categories, mainly smart home, TV and audio, with exposure across the wider portfolio
- Sourcing stock at the right price: your first 90 days are about finding available inventory while hitting a 15–20% discount vs RRP
- The procurement strategy behind your categories, plus access to trade fairs and industry events as we bring new products on board
What you bring ✅
- 2–5 years' experience in procurement, buying or supply chain (ecommerce or tech preferred)
- Strong negotiation and communication skills: you're comfortable talking directly with suppliers
- An analytical mindset, confident working with data and spreadsheets
- Knowledge of consumer electronics categories (mobile, audio, smart home, TV) is a plus
- Organised and detail-oriented: you can manage multiple workstreams at once
- Fluent English; B2+ German would be considered a strong pls
What you'll love about us 💚
- BVG monthly ticket to get you around Berlin
- Virtual or In-person Coaching Sessions with the Fürstenberg Institut
- Physical health support with Urban Sports Club
- €750 annual learning budget
- 4 Volunteer days per year
- Exclusive Grover discounts for you and your loved ones
- An open office in Berlin-Schöneberg with regular team events
- A global team of 75+ nationalities, genuinely some of the nicest people you'll work with

Company at a glance
Grover is the global leader in technology rentals, enabling people and empowering businesses to subscribe to tech products monthly instead of buying them.
Founded in 2015 by Michael Cassau, Grover’s mission is to make exceptional technology more accessible, because technology is a basic human right. With Grover and Grover Business, subscribers and companies get access to a wide range of tech products, including smartphones, laptops and smartwatches on a flexible, monthly rental basis.
Once a product rental period has ended, Grover’s service allows its users to return the product free of charge. They can also decide to extend the product rental length or exchange the product for something else. Grover Business even takes care of the tech procurement and management process so that companies can stay focused on growth.
Rentals are available in Germany, Austria, the Netherlands and Spain at GROVER.COM, as well as in Germany through Grover’s online and offline partner network, including Europe’s leading electronics retail group, MediaMarktSaturn.
Grover is a pioneer in the circular economy: Its business model of renting out and refurbishing tech products contributes to devices being used more frequently and for a longer period. This increases the potential to avoid e-waste. To date, Grover has circulated more than 1.2 million devices in total.
With total funding of around €1.4 billion to date and over 400 employees, Grover is one of the fastest-growing scaleups in Europe.
