International Trader, Medical Devices & Consumables ( M/F/D )
About this role
We are looking for an experienced International Trader for a 12-month assignment with one of our clients in the medical devices and healthcare sector. The role focuses on building and managing an international sales channel for excess and surplus medical devices and consumables across European markets. This is a hands-on commercial assignment with a clear objective: identify suitable buyers, negotiate transactions and recover value from stock that cannot be moved through regular sales channels.
You will operate with a European/Group-wide mandate and work closely with B2B, Export & Trade, Supply Chain, S&OP, Finance, Quality and Regulatory teams. The Assignment : The organisation operates across multiple European markets. Changes in demand, tenders and product ranges can result in stock that requires a dedicated international route to market. You will be responsible for turning viable stock positions into commercial transactions.
You will : Build an international buyer network among distributors, traders, brokers, NGOs, humanitarian buyers and other relevant channels. Assess available stock and prioritise positions with the strongest recovery potential. Identify suitable routes to market, including direct or bundled sales, auctions, supplier returns and donations. Personally approach buyers and negotiate pricing, delivery terms, Incoterms and payment security.
Develop opportunities primarily outside the organisation's existing operating markets to protect established commercial channels. Work closely with Sales, Supply Chain, S&OP, Sourcing, Finance, Quality and Regulatory Affairs to prepare and execute transactions. Report monthly on pipeline development, completed deals, revenue, value recovered, lead times and risks. Share market insights that can help prevent recurring excess stock.
You will operate within agreed pricing and approval limits. Every transaction must comply with applicable product, export and distribution requirements, including MDR/IVDR, GDP, shelf life, labelling, UDI, sanctions and supplier restrictions. Buyer verification and prevention of channel conflict are essential parts of the assignment. You bring a proven track record of personally closing international B2B trading or export deals.
