[Hiring] Junior Sourcing Representative @THE/STUDIO

Role Description

We’re looking for a hard-working Junior Sourcing Representative to build and work our factory network across Europe, including European factories of US companies. Candidates from Italy, Spain, and Portugal are our priority, given how big manufacturing is there. You’ll match customer requests to the right factory, get them quoted, and follow up until every quote is in. This is a junior, hands-on role, not a sourcing manager or supply chain strategy role.

You’ll do what the rest of our sourcing team does every day:

• Find factories, call them, follow up and get results.

Why This Role Is Exciting:

• Direct Access to Leadership: Work directly with our CEO and executive team, giving you high visibility, direct mentorship, and a seat at the table.
• Product & Strategic Influence: Your daily insights will directly shape our product roadmap, workflows, and company strategy.
• Rapid Scale & Career Trajectory: High autonomy, minimal red tape, and massive room for personal and professional acceleration.

Qualifications

• Based in Europe. Italy, Spain or Portugal preferred.
• Fluent in Italian, Spanish or Portuguese, plus working-level English (B2 or above).
• 1–3 years in manufacturing: factory production, sourcing, purchasing, merchandising, export sales or supply chain coordination.
• Direct contact with factories or suppliers in your current or past roles.
• Persistent and comfortable making many calls and follow-ups every day.
• Able to handle many requests and deadlines at once.
• Clear, professional communication in English (B2 or above) with factories and our global team.
• Highly disciplined, self-motivated, and comfortable operating as a full-time, dedicated independent contractor in a 100% remote setting.
• Reliable setup including a fast computer, noise-canceling headset, and a rock-solid, stable internet connection.

Requirements

• Knowledge of a manufacturing district, e.g. Italian leather goods and textiles, Portuguese textiles and footwear, Spanish footwear and packaging.
• A second language from Italian, Spanish or Portuguese.
• Experience with RFQ systems, B2B marketplaces or a CRM.

Benefits

• Base: Depending on experience. This is a junior role, monthly comp starts at 1000 EUR.
• Engagement Type: Full-time, exclusive independent contractor role.
