Unsere Erwartungen an dich
Qualifikationen
- You’ve got a bachelor’s or master’s in a relevant area (Business, Procurement, Finance, Supply Chain, IT, Law — or something close enough that fits the job).
- You know the market and vendor landscape — you understand who’s who, what’s changing, and where the leverage is.
- You communicate with ease — from operational teams to senior leaders — and you can influence stakeholders without burning bridges.
- You’re not afraid to push back constructively and challenge “how we’ve always done it,” while staying focused on continuous improvement and change.
- You can build a strong business case, create sharp presentations, and write clear, stakeholder-friendly updates that move decisions forward.
- You’re digitally confident and data-literate — quick to pick up new tools and comfortable using data to guide procurement decisions.
- Bonus points if you’ve worked with Microsoft Dynamics F&O, Ironclad CLM, or ServiceNow.
- You’re solid with MS Office, communicate fluently in English, and German is a nice extra.
- You’re a self-starter — proactive, organized, and motivated without needing someone to chase you.
- You’re open to international travel when needed.
