Your focus will be on supplier performance, qualification, compliance, development and risk. At the same time, you will contribute with supplier insights and recommendations to support the overall Supply Chain direction defined by the Group Head of Supply Chain. You will also help build and mature the Procurement function by developing consistent processes, standards and ways of working across Liftra.

Who are you?

You enjoy working across functions and countries and are comfortable navigating between operational supplier issues and the broader Supply Chain perspective.

You thrive in an environment where processes and structures are still developing and are motivated by the opportunity to build and mature a Procurement function.
