Required Skills
Job Description
Why we are here
Tony’s Chocolonely is committed to ending exploitation in cocoa. We are an impact company that makes chocolate, not a chocolate company that makes impact. With incredibly tasty chocolate, we lead by example, demonstrating that ethical practices and success can go hand in hand. Through Tony's Open Chain (TOC), mission allies like Albert Heijn, Ben & Jerry's, Jokolade, and Aldi have embraced a fairer, more transparent supply chain for their chocolate too.
What you will do
As our Inclusion Buyer, you’ll make sure Tony’s inclusions - from caramel to pecans to pretzels - are responsibly sourced, well-priced, and delivered in full and on time. You’ll work closely with suppliers and internal teams to keep things running smoothly, even when plans change (because they will). Your days will be a mix of negotiating competitive prices with suppliers, contract work, problem-solving, and hands-on support for product and operations projects ensuring business continuity. You’ll spot issues early, raise flags and suggest mitigation plans while aligning procurement strategies with Tony’s growth ambition in mind. In short: you’ll keep our inclusions supply strong, fair, and fit for purpose. This is a 6-months maternity cover where you’ll report to our Procurement Manager.
