Buying Desk Coordinator

At Ocado Group, we are a global technology leader reinventing the retail landscape through cutting-edge AI and robotic engineering. While our automation powers the world’s most advanced fulfillment centers, ourpeople drive our international growth.

The Next Chapter: We are launching a brand-new Global Shared Service Centre in Sofia. Positioned as the strategic heart of our international finance and people operations, this hub offers a unique opportunity to help build a global team from the ground up.

The Opportunity

We are looking for a detail-oriented, tech-savvy Buying Desk Coordinator to join our team. Working alongside our procurement and Accounts Payable (AP) functions, you will play a critical role in ensuring our purchase orders (POs) flow seamlessly from initial request to final invoice.

If you have a strong administrative background, exceptional attention to detail, and love working with modern systems and data, this is a fantastic opportunity to grow your career within a collaborative and supportive team.

• Review, validate, and approve purchase requisitions coming through Omnea before converting them into Purchase Orders (POs) in Oracle Fusion.
• Manage regional procurement workflows, understanding which countries require manual PO creation versus those handled automatically.
• Act as a key filter for errors—spotting and correcting common issues (e.g., incorrect Ocado entities, invalid delivery dates/system default errors).
• Liaise closely with internal Purchasing, Logistics, and Accounts Payable (AP) teams to resolve discrepancies upfront, ensuring smooth downstream invoice processing.
• Perform periodic data maintenance and reconciliation between systems (Omnea and Oracle Fusion) to ensure database alignment.
• Handle technical administrative tasks, including updating active vendor/supplier lists across platforms.

• Provide high-quality, responsive customer service to internal stakeholders, procurement teams, and AP partners.
• Serve as a reliable go-to point of contact for daily buying desk inquiries and operational support.

What You Bring to the Team

• Proven experience in an administrative, data entry, or operational support role (entry-level to early career).
• Possess a "critical eye" for catching small details, inconsistencies, or system errors before they become larger operational issues.
• Comfortable working across multiple platforms; prior exposure to Oracle Fusion, Omnea, or similar ERP/procurement tools is a plus (training provided).
• Clear, friendly communicator who enjoys helping colleagues and providing great internal service.
• Able to manage routine administrative tasks alongside periodic technical data maintenance.

Why You Should Join Us

Sofia is the cornerstone of our global operations. This role offers high visibility across the entire finance function. You will collaborate closely with Group Finance on technical reporting, support Commercial Finance Partners, and maintain a broad network of internal stakeholders (FP&A, Tax, Treasury, AP, AR) to drive operational excellence.

What We Offer You:

• Work-Life Balance: Hybrid office policy (60% onsite) +30 days of our "Work from Anywhere" program.
• Time Off: 25 days of annual leave.
• Financial Perks: €150 monthly allowance for wellbeing or flexible expenses.
• Health & Security: Comprehensive medical plan (including health & dental coverage), life and disability insurance.
• Family & Support: Enhanced maternity/paternity leave and an Employee Assistance Program.
