Select Ambition is recruiting for a Category Buyer to manage a pharmaceutical supplier and product portfolio within a confidential pharmacy and healthcare wholesale business. Two positions are available.

• Leading day-to-day supplier relationships and commercial negotiations.

• Negotiating pricing, rebates and annual trading terms.

• Monitoring supplier, margin and rebate performance.

• Resolving pricing, availability and product-file issues.

• Turning commercial and operational data into clear recommendations.

• Working with buying, pricing, finance, master-data, operations, sales and commercial-analytics teams.

Campaign code: IMDHP

Essential

• Relevant buying, procurement, category-management or commercial experience.

• Experience owning supplier relationships and negotiating commercial outcomes.

• Confidence working with pricing, margin and performance data.

• Strong Excel capability and the ability to communicate commercially supported recommendations.

• Availability for hybrid working in Dublin.

Preferred

• Approximately three to five years’ relevant experience.

• Experience in pharmacy, pharmaceuticals, healthcare wholesale, prescription medicines or another regulated product category.

• Comparable retail, wholesale, B2C or FMCG buying experience will also be considered.

• €80,000–€85,000 annual salary.

• Permanent position.

• Two home-working days each week.

• On-site parking.
