About the role

  • You are responsible for end-to-end strategic procurement — from market and demand analysis through supplier and risk management to contracting, cost and innovation strategies.
  • You ensure long-term supply security, optimize costs and value creation, and, together with internal and external partners, drive sustainable competitive advantages.
  • You analyze requirements and procurement markets, monitor supplier structures, market trends and price developments, and identify opportunities and risks.
  • You identify, evaluate and select suppliers, build strategic partnerships and continuously develop existing suppliers.
  • You develop and implement sustainable procurement strategies (e.g., single or multiple sourcing) to ensure long-term supply.
  • You lead complex contract and price negotiations, develop pricing and terms models, and conclude framework and long-term agreements.
  • You analyze cost and value drivers and derive measures for cost optimization and efficiency improvements.
  • You identify supply risks, develop prevention measures and prepare contingency and fallback plans.
  • You work closely with suppliers on innovation and technology projects and actively involve them in development initiatives.
  • You coordinate collaboration with internal stakeholders such as R&D, quality management and logistics and support cross-functional projects.

  • Additional company-wide holidays.
  • Flexible working hours with no fixed core hours.
  • Hybrid working with up to 100% remote work.
