## Job description

## 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 minimum 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

Join the Grover Rocketship, where your impact is felt and, together, we build a more circular world. 🚀

Grover is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and welcome every applicant, regardless of gender, age, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, disability, or background.

We can't wait to e-meet you! 👋

## About Grover

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Grover is the global leader in technology rentals, enabling consumers and businesses to subscribe to tech products on a flexible monthly basis instead of buying them.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series C, with total funding of ~€1.4 billion / $2.4 billion across multiple rounds and debt facilities)
- **Headquarters**: Berlin, Germany
- **Founded**: 2015
- **Founders**: Michael Cassau

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Technology rental / subscription services (circular economy)
- **Target customers**: B2C (individuals) and B2B (businesses, SMBs, enterprises); operates in 19 countries including Germany, Austria, Spain, Netherlands, and the United States.
- **Mission or purpose**: “Make exceptional technology accessible to everyone – because technology is a basic human right.” Grover aims to shift the economy from “buy-use-dispose” to a circular, sustainable model.

## Products & Services
- **Grover (B2C)**: A subscription service offering over 3,000 tech products – smartphones, laptops, VR gear, wearables, smart home devices – on a flexible monthly rental basis. Users can keep, switch, return, or buy the product at any time. Available online at grover.com and via partner retail (e.g., MediaMarktSaturn in Germany).
- **Grover Business (B2B)**: A managed tech procurement and subscription service for companies, handling device lifecycle management so businesses can focus on growth.
- **Refurbishment & Circular Services**: Devices are returned, refurbished, and re-rented, extending their useful life and reducing e-waste. To date, Grover has circulated over 1.2 million devices.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed. Total funding exceeds €1.4 billion (approx. $1.5B) according to the company’s own site, while LinkedIn reports $2.4 billion in total funding (including debt). These are conflicting reports; the $2.4B figure likely includes debt facilities.
- **Key Metric**:
  - Annual Revenue: $120 million (LinkedIn estimate, likely 2024/2025).
  - Total Funding: $2.4 billion (LinkedIn) / ~€1.4 billion (company site).
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Energy Impact Partners (led Series C), JMS Capital-Everglen (led Series B), Varengold Bank, Kreos Capital, and Europe’s largest electronics retailer MediaMarktSaturn as a strategic partner.
- **Growth Signals**: 
  - Expanded to 19 countries, including the United States.
  - Circulated over 1.2 million devices.
  - Headcount of ~214 employees (LinkedIn data, -9.3% YoY) – conflicting with company statements of “400+ employees” (likely historical or broader definition). Recent job postings indicate continued hiring in key roles.
  - Active job postings: 7 (as of July 2025).

## Competitive Advantages
- **First-mover in tech rental** in Europe, with a strong brand and established partner network (MediaMarktSaturn).
- **Circular economy model** that reduces e-waste and extracts maximum value from each device, appealing to sustainability-conscious consumers and businesses.
- **Flexible subscription terms** – no long-term commitment, ability to switch/return/buy – which differentiates from traditional retail or leasing.
- **Scale and data**: Over 1M devices circulated and a large inventory of refurbished products gives Grover pricing power and operational efficiency.
- **B2B offering** provides a managed service that simplifies IT procurement for companies, a growing segment.

## Strategic Focus
- **International expansion**, especially in the US market (already launched grover.com/us-en).
- **Growing the B2B channel** (Grover Business) to capture enterprise and SMB demand for flexible tech subscriptions.
- **Deepening partnerships** with retailers and OEMs to expand distribution.
- **Sustainability leadership**: Promoting the circular economy model as a core differentiator and potentially attracting ESG-focused investors.

## Why Work Here
- **Hybrid work model**: Employees at Berlin HQ work in the office three days a week (Tuesday–Thursday), plus up to 30 business days per year of remote work from almost anywhere.
- **Relocation support**: Visa agency assistance for moving to Berlin, from paperwork to final appointments.
- **Learning & Development**: €1,000 annual learning budget (after 6 months) and a monthly volunteering day.
- **Health & Wellbeing**: Corporate discount on Urban Sports Club memberships; complimentary mental health sessions via Nilo Health.
- **Culture**: Described as an international team of tech-lovers, fast-paced, with autonomy and challenging projects. Company values include “Cultivate Curiosity,” “Bring Our A-Game,” and “Believe the Dream.”
- **Employee rating**: 3.1/5 on LinkedIn (166 reviews) – moderate scores for work-life (3.5), compensation (3.1), culture (3.0), career (2.8). Some caution for job seekers, but perks and growth opportunities are highlighted.
- **Recent open roles** (as of July 2025): Director of Finance & Transformation, Sr. Product Analyst, Account Executive, Performance Marketing Manager, German Creative Copywriter, etc. (mostly German-speaking positions).
