Job description

We are committed to transparency and equal treatment, therefore we particularly welcome applications from all age groups, regardless of gender, disabilities, origin, social and ethnic background, religion, ideology or sexual identity.

A great deal is about more than just getting the best price – it’s about getting the details right, too. Do you know how to negotiate the best terms for the Fabasoft Group while keeping quality, information security and compliance in mind? Then you’re exactly who we’re looking for!

Your mission:

• You will provide technical leadership for our procurement team, drive the strategic development of the procurement department, and establish company-wide procurement guidelines and standards.
• You will be responsible for centralized procurement for the Fabasoft Group and will also be hands‑on—from requesting quotes and selecting suppliers to order processing, invoice verification, and handling complaints.
• You will maintain and develop our supplier relationships, conduct negotiations on prices, contracts, and terms, and oversee the annual supplier evaluation.
• You will contribute to budget planning, define and analyze relevant procurement metrics, and use these insights to derive targeted optimization measures.
• You will drive the standardization and digitization of our procurement processes and, in particular, actively contribute to the further development of our processes in SAP S/4HANA.
• You ensure compliance with regulatory, quality, and information security requirements in procurement, participate in internal and external audits, and promote sustainable procurement processes and the reduction of procurement‑related CO₂ emissions by integrating ESG criteria.
• You will create and foster a corporate culture in which ambition, responsibility, innovation, and excellence are put into practice.

Your profile:

• You have a degree in business (business law, economics, etc.) and several years of professional experience in procurement—ideally in the IT or services sector.
• You have experience in designing and optimizing procurement processes and possess solid SAP knowledge (experience with SAP S/4HANA is a plus).
• You are a strong negotiator and confident in dealing with suppliers and contractual partners, and you can persuasively represent and enforce business interests.
• You enjoy rolling up your sleeves, think in a solution‑oriented way, and maintain a clear overview even when faced with varying requirements and priorities.
• You are aware of your responsibilities, lead by example, and exemplify high performance—you guide your team professionally with clarity and conviction, and seek direct, constructive dialogue even in challenging situations.
• Excellent German and English skills round out your profile.

We really care for experts – and we show it with:

• first‑class catering (breakfast, coffee, drinks, fruit and much more) and fantastic team events
• an inspiring work environment with state‑of‑the‑art office standards
• a stress‑free, sustainable commute (generous support for climate tickets and other annual network cards, free e‑shuttle from the train station to HQ and back)
• a monthly home office quota and flexible working hours
• an above‑average salary (approx. EUR 6,000 gross per month based on a 38.5‑hour working week, depending on your experience and qualifications)
