We are seeking an analytically minded professional to join our Commercial Department as a Customer and Supplier Management Analyst. This is a Multifunctional, growth-oriented position that combines hands-on commercial operations with commercial data analysis.
You will administer supply and sales contracts, maintain parcels, deliveries and assay data, process fixations, and act as a point of contact for our suppliers and customers. This operational grounding is intentional – it builds the process and product knowledge required to interpret our commercial data correctly. Building on it, you will analyze assay results, supplier performance, material profitability and price risk, improve data quality at the source, and translate your findings into actionable recommendations for our Commercial Buying team and site management.
The role is designed to grow with you: while the first months focus on learning our commercial operations, the analytical share of your work will increase progressively over a period of roughly 12 months, at a pace we define together and based on demonstrated capability.
