Italian Buyer

We’re looking for a bright, mission-driven Buyer to join our team. You’ll bring your insight and passion to a group with unrivalled knowledge of fruit, vegetables, and specialist produce – all united by a shared commitment to building a radically better supply chain.

With at least three years of experience in the fresh food industry, you’ll have a sharp eye for consumer trends and an instinct for sourcing produce at its seasonal peak. You’ll be excited to challenge convention and play a key role in reshaping the way food is farmed and distributed.

For over fifteen years, we’ve been building a direct, transparent supply chain that connects more than 400 growers and producers across Europe. In this role, you’ll be instrumental in keeping that system running smoothly – using live data to drive availability, reduce waste, and cut non-conformities.

You’ll thrive in a fast-paced environment where no two days look the same. Highly organised, full of initiative, and a confident communicator, you’ll energise those around you. Above all, you're motivated by a genuine desire to build a better food future.

Responsibilities

• Lead the forecasting and purchasing of our Italian fruit and vegetable category
• Work primarily with Italian suppliers, while supporting other sourcing regions as needed
• Identify and resolve supply chain issues through proactive communication with internal teams and suppliers
• Collaborate closely with sourcing teams in Italy and France to secure the best produce at the right moment
• Build and maintain long-term relationships with growers and producers
• Monitor stock levels, reduce out-of-stocks and overstock, and approve supplier invoices

ABOUT YOU

• Fluent in Italian and English – French or Spanish is a plus
• At least 3 years’ experience as a food buyer, ideally with exposure to fresh produce
• Strong analytical mindset with excellent Excel skills; confident using tech platforms and live data tools
• A calm, decisive presence who thrives under pressure
• Highly motivated, self-starting, and naturally collaborative
• Value honesty, openness, and team success over personal ego
• Passionate about driving real change in the food system

PERKS

• Daily lunch made with the same seasonal produce we supply to top chefs
• Significant discount on all Natoora produce
• Your birthday off (after 6 months)
• A stocked kitchen full of the ingredients we believe in

Our vision for a better food system is built on real human relationships and a diversity of experience, perspective and ideas. We are committed to equality of opportunity and welcome applications from individuals, regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, socio-economic background, religion and/or belief.
