PURCHASING

In Commercial Purchasing we work closely with our many suppliers, but also our multiple departments at JYSK, such as Range and Design, Flow of Goods, Compliance & Quality and Marketing. Hence, we are the connecting link between many departments and functions. 

Examples of tasks:

• Continuous improvements: procuring the right article, in the right quality, at the very best price
• Develop new and trendy articles: predict which colours, shapes and materials etc. will be the most relevant in two years’ time
• Sustainability: optimizing existing articles and launching more sustainable new articles

"I value working in a family-owned company where the right and obligation to speak up is a central part of values, and something that we live in our daily work. JYSK gives you the opportunity to evolve both personally and professionally and you meet dedicated and supportive colleagues every day. 

In Commercial Purchasing we thrive to exceed our costumers' expectations, and to compose a relevant assortment with an increased share of sustainable product offers without compromising on our Scandinavian roots and DNA."

The Flow of Goods department is responsible for ensuring that all JYSK stores receive the right goods, in the right quantities, at the right time and place, within the given budget. That requires us to manage and strengthen our portfolios, and reviewing new articles - always considering the development of sales.

Another sub-division of the Flow of Goods department is Process, Development and Master Data which consists of teams who are responsible for securing continuous development and optimization of the many IT systems that are used by the Purchasing department. 

Hence, a close corporation with other JYSK departments, such as the Sales & Expansion team, the Distribution Centres and our suppliers is very important in order to manage supply and demand.

Examples of tasks:

• Forecasting: preparing and maintaining forecasts and tender quantities
• Replenishment: manage order portfolios, perform demand management
• Shipping: ensure the best possible contracts with sea freight suppliers and efficient operation of container freight

“Working as a part of the Flow of Goods department means working with the flow of goods from suppliers through distribution centers to stores in 28 countries, in a company that is constantly growing and developing. JYSK is a workplace with continuous development and many possibilities, which is a result of the environment and colleagues in JYSK. There is a very high sense of teamwork, trust, and respect where we always support and help each other. The atmosphere is positive and encourages constant development, where dedication meets responsibility. There are many reasons why JYSK is a great place to work and these are only some of them"

Sara, Supply Planner

The teams in Compliance and Quality support our Category Managers as well as our suppliers within quality and compliance. From participation in the purchasing process, to defining quality setup and controls, as well as follow-up on complaints.

Our team is located at the Danish Head Office but there are also colleagues in other countries, handling the quality control at their local Distribution Centre. 

Hence, when working in the Compliance and Quality department, you will work with many different cultures on for instance the following tasks: 

• Compliance: ensuring all products comply with product and packaging legislation. Definition of own internal JYSK requirements
• Sustainable production: ensuring compliance with our Code of Conduct, focusing on social responsibility and sustainability 
• Supplier management: communicating to all suppliers the JYSK supplier Guideline

"I think JYSK has a fantastic working environment.

In our department, there is a good atmosphere. Even if we are busy, we take things as they come and respect differences. Our department is small, but we have a great teamwork and respect each other’s differences."

Laurits, Quality Operation Manager
