About the Role
One of Lorien's key, global-reaching solutions clients is recruiting Supplier Onboarding Administrators with strong German speaking skills to support a time-limited project focused on supplier registration and data cleansing across its ERP and supplier management systems.
While the role sits firmly in administration, a large part of the day-to-day work involves speaking with suppliers directly, so you'll need to be comfortable holding professional conversations in English and German. You'll be picking up new internal processes at pace, so previous exposure to structured admin work would be ideal, and matters more than specific Onboarding industry experience.
