Jobbeschreibung

I'm partnering with a global industrial manufacturing group for a Strategic Buyer – IT & Services that is currently undertaking one of the most exciting procurement transformations in the region. With over 40 sites worldwide, the business is building a modern, data‑driven, central procurement organisation and this is your chance to join right at the beginning. The role is based in Baden‑Wurttembeg region with a couple of different sites in Goppingen or Villingendorf.

The new corporate purchasing setup only went live mid‑year, meaning you won't be inheriting legacy processes… you'll be shaping them. If you're looking for a role where your impact is visible, valued, and genuinely career‑accelerating, this is it. This isn't "daily operational buying." This is a strategic role at the heart of a growing corporate procurement team influencing spend, shaping category roadmaps, and helping build a world‑class sourcing structure.

You’ll operate as the regional owner for IT, professional services, and corporate categories driving change while partnering closely with senior stakeholders.

Responsibilities

• Lead regional sourcing initiatives across IT, HR, Finance, and wider service categories
• Build and execute category strategies that deliver cost, quality, and innovation
• Act as a trusted advisor to business leaders, helping define requirements and challenge the status quo
• Develop supplier ecosystems that drive performance, sustainability, and long‑term value
• Support a global transformation, harmonising processes and embedding digital procurement tools

A commercially sharp, analytically strong procurement professional who enjoys working across both strategic and hands‑on activity. Someone who can influence, collaborate, and bring structure to a growing function. Must be able to speak English & German.

Experience in IT, services, or generalist indirect procurement is highly valuable – as is the ability to engage stakeholders across functions.

What the role offers

• A high‑visibility role in a central corporate procurement team
• The opportunity to shape processes, not just follow them
• Real ownership and autonomy across regional categories
• A chance to grow as the organisation continues to scale its procurement capability

If you want a role where you can truly leave a mark and be part of a modern, forward‑thinking purchasing transformation this is one worth exploring.
