Buying Coordinator

Overview

Connexus is hiring on behalf of a leading DIY and accessories retailer in Ireland that is expanding its buying team in Dublin. The business is looking for several organised, detail-driven Buying Coordinators to join a busy commercial environment where teamwork and accuracy are essential.
