About the Role:
Padeltop is looking for a Product Buyer who can make fast, commercial, and data-informed buying decisions in a dynamic sports retail environment.

- Communicate and negotiate with suppliers clearly and confidently
- Ensure purchasing data and product actions are properly recorded in internal systems
- Work with management to align buying decisions with sales targets, inventory health, and cash flow

- Fast in decision-making and not overly dependent on perfect data
- Strong in commercial awareness: understands product demand, pricing, timing, and market behavior
- Comfortable working with numbers and basic data analysis
- Proactive and responsive, without waiting to be told what to do
- Able to take ownership of buying decisions and outcomes
- Communicative and confident when dealing with suppliers
- Practical, action-oriented, and able to turn data into decisions
Requirements:
- Bachelor’s Degree in Business, Management, Industrial Engineering, Supply Chain, Economics, or related fields
- Experience in retail, e-commerce, product buying, merchandising, distribution, or supplier handling
- Comfortable reading sales trend, margin, stock cover, ADS, inventory movement, and sell-through
- Familiar with marketplace dynamics such as Tokopedia, Shopee, pricing, competitor movement, and promotion mechanics
- Strong communication and negotiation skills
- Able to work in a fast-paced and high-ownership environment
Preferred Experience:
- Experience in retail, e-commerce, product buying, merchandising, or supplier handling
- Experience handling product categories, brands, or suppliers
- Experience in sport retail, padel, lifestyle products, or consumer goods
- Familiar with marketplace campaigns, pricing behavior, and product demand trends
- Padel player or sports enthusiast is a strong advantage
Important Note:
This role is not for someone who only wants to process PO or wait for instructions.
We are looking for someone who can think, decide, and act based on real business conditions.
