Tasks
You report directly to the CPO and are responsible for a spend of approx. 100 mio, of which approx. 2/3 is influenceable. Your spend is very diverse: lease cars, professional services, travel, vending machines, HR/training, insurance, telecom, PPE, etc. Needless to say, you will also have contact with all these departments. You will focus on the company’s locations in NL and Belgium, with an emphasis on headquarters.
You will be expected to plan and thus create a procurement plan for your category that you “sell” internally and gain much-needed support for.
Once the unbundling of the current parent company occurs in the short term, contracts will have to be renegotiated.
Key KPIs are:
- The quality of your contracts and SLAs
- Your input into the discussion on shaping the new mobility policy
- Collaborating with your stakeholders
In the absence of the IT category manager, you will assume his duties (and v.v.).
International travel (outside of NL and Belgium) is not part of this position.
Your profile
- HBO degree
- Extensive purchasing experience in NPR area, at least with lease cars, PPE, training
- Work experience in a technical environment is a plus
- You have a good command of Dutch and English; German is a plus
- You can handle IT well, such as Excel and an ERP system.
