• A practical, solution-focused, and independent working style, with the ability to stay on top of several parallel tasks.
• Confidence in dealing with suppliers, service providers, and external partners, including clear follow-up and direct communication.
• Interest in taking ownership and actively shaping and improving processes instead of only maintaining existing workflows.
• A structured, dependable, and detail-oriented approach without losing sight of the bigger picture.
• Genuine interest in startups, e-commerce, and operational business models, along with a desire to support PALU’s growth.

Benefits

• High responsibility from day one, with direct influence on supply reliability, customer satisfaction, and growth.
