Role snapshot

This is a hands-on, curious, design-aware role for someone who loves great furniture, has a sharp eye, and gets real satisfaction from finding the right piece, the right partner, or the right deal at the right moment.

As Junior Sourcing Specialist, you will help keep Enky’s sourcing engine running across New Product, Vintage, and Second Hand, while supporting Operations and accelerating Sales with reliable product information and clean internal data.

This role is execution-forward. You’ll work closely with the senior sourcing function and own the everyday rhythm that keeps pipelines healthy, partner data accurate, and inventory moving smoothly — while also contributing taste, trend awareness, and strong visual judgment to protect the quality and coherence of our offer.

Mission

Support Enky’s multi-stream procurement and sourcing activity by:

• Maintaining an active and relevant partner pipeline

• Coordinating inventory flows with Operations

• Keeping catalogs, price lists, and product data accurate and spec-ready

• Helping Sales and PMs specify quickly and confidently

You bring structure and taste. The numbers matter — and so does your eye.

Scope of responsibilities

1) New Product

You help keep the new product pipeline relevant, organized, and aligned with commercial and design needs.

• Attend fairs and showroom visits with a structured scouting brief

• Source and suggest potential partners based on sales feedback, category gaps, and pricing logic

• Track and maintain updated price lists, lead times, and product documentation

• Prepare inputs for the monthly catalog meeting, including recommendations on what to add, prioritize, or pause

• Organize vendor information and update internal partner pages

• Support onboarding admin and asset collection (product sheets, sustainability documents, care guides)

• Contribute to curated monthly selections informed by sales feedback, emerging design signals, and Enky’s circular criteria

2) Vintage

You help turn strong finds into smooth, operationally-ready inventory.

• Liaise with vendors and Operations on inventory transport planning

• Assist with purchasing plans and help expand the vendor pipeline

• Support initial qualification of new vendors aligned with Enky’s style, quality, and resale potential

• Ensure intake administration is clean and complete (documentation, tagging, condition notes)

3) Second Hand

You help grow smart deal flow and keep it moving efficiently.

• Research brokers, liquidators, and sellers in the second-hand market

• Build and maintain, alongside the sourcing lead, a structured broker database with clear segmentation

• Support early triage of inbound offers (brand fit, category relevance, baseline price checks)

• Liaise with Operations for pipeline tracking and transport handoffs

4) Sales enablement & specifications

You help Sales and PMs move faster and spec with confidence.

• Assist with product specifications from Enky’s catalog and stock

• Provide quick support on dimensions, finishes, lead times, and compliance basics

• Keep product documentation spec-ready and easy to access internally

• Help develop internal tools for design literacy and company-wide product education

5) Refurbishment support (temporary scope)

You support ad hoc needs while helping lay groundwork for future in-house ambitions.

• Assist with sourcing and comparison of refurbishment partners

• Gather quotes, lead times, service scopes, and warranty conditions

• Organize refurbishment documentation by category (seating, desks, storage, soft seating)

Cross-stream responsibilities

Across all sourcing streams, you will:

• Maintain clean, reliable internal data in Notion and Google Sheets

• Support Sales and PMs with clear, client-ready specifications

• Prepare first-pass market benchmarks on price and availability

• Track quick-ship or priority items

• Handle routine vendor communications and follow-ups

• Support preparation for buying reviews and monthly catalog meetings

Core skills

• Strong organization and high standards for data accuracy

• Comfort with structured tools (Notion, Google Sheets)

• Clear written and verbal communication in English and French

• Ability to manage multiple suppliers and internal stakeholders calmly

• Basic commercial reasoning (pricing logic, margin awareness)

Creative & product profile

• A good eye for design quality, proportion, materials, and finishes

• Curiosity about trends and emerging brands

• Ability to suggest well-edited, relevant options rather than long lists

• Genuine interest in circularity, multi-cycle value, and long-term product relevance

Nice to have

• First exposure to buying, procurement, retail, or B2B sourcing

• Knowledge of vintage and second-hand market dynamics

• Familiarity with sustainability or compliance documentation
