A Snapshot of Your Day

As Digital Procurement Transformation Lead, you will shape and deliver the digital and AI agenda for procurement across Grid Technologies – from our factories with repeat demand to our engineer‑to‑order project business in HVDC, STATCOM and grid solutions. This is a digital transformation role, not a buying role: you bring the expertise in process redesign, digital products, data, automation and AI, while our procurement process owners and category and project experts bring the business know‑how, validate solutions and own the outcomes. Together you will move procurement, engineering, projects, quality, logistics, finance, IT and suppliers onto one transparent, standard and audit‑ready way of working – using the global Siemens Energy Procurement tools first and building locally only where there is a genuine gap. Your success will be measured by real adoption and value confirmed by Controlling, not by the number of tools launched.

How You’ll Make an Impact

• Digital strategy and portfolio: Own the procurement digital roadmap for Grid Technologies – identify and prioritize pain points, automation opportunities and AI use cases by business value, feasibility and strategic fit, aligned with the global SE Procurement transformation agenda.
• Business translation: Map end-to-end procurement processes – from bid and tender through delivery – and translate business needs into user stories, functional specifications and data requirements.
• Product ownership and delivery: Act as digital product owner for SE Procurement tools (S/4, Ariba Guided Buying, One Supplier Portal, ORO, PIP, AI Forge), steering backlog, testing and releases with IT and the global CoE; close local gaps with low‑code / no‑code, Power Platform and analytics through prototypes, MVPs and scalable releases.
• Applied AI and automation: Design, test and scale controlled AI use cases – RFQ package preparation, offer comparison, clarification lists, contract obligation extraction and a procurement knowledge assistant – with grounding, verification, logging and human‑in‑the‑loop controls.
• Data and insight: Establish trusted supplier, material, price, contract and project data, and deliver should‑cost and commodity‑index analytics, spend classification, a supplier risk cockpit and management dashboards for fact‑based decisions.
• Governance and compliance: Digitize RFQ, comparative statement, QES and DOA approvals with a full audit trail, ensuring compliance with AI governance, information security, data privacy, export control and enterprise architecture standards.
• Change, adoption and value: Lead change management and capability building through a network of digital champions, role‑based training and data and AI literacy, and track adoption, quality and business value KPIs against agreed baselines.

What You Bring

• University degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems, Business Informatics or Data / AI; a postgraduate qualification or MBA is an advantage.
• 10+ years of experience in digital transformation, business process transformation, digital product management or enterprise systems, including at least two end‑to‑end programmes taken from diagnosis to go‑live and sustained user adoption with measurable business value.
• Strong digital and AI expertise, including applied Generative AI (prompt engineering, RAG concepts and responsible AI), AI agent workflows with human‑in‑the‑loop verification, automation and process mining, low‑code / no‑code development, and data analytics and visualization (e.g. Power BI).
• Hands‑on experience with SAP S/4 and Ariba or comparable ERP and sourcing platforms, and good awareness of integration and enterprise architecture concepts such as APIs, connectors and cloud platforms.
• Working understanding of the procurement value chain – strategic sourcing, project procurement, P2P and supplier management. Experience in procurement or supply chain digitalization is strongly preferred; deep category, negotiation or contract expertise is not required.
• Proven product ownership and agile delivery, working with IT partners, global centers of excellence and citizen developers.
• Strong stakeholder and change leadership – influencing without authority across global, cross‑functional teams, engaging senior management, delivering training and setting up sustainable support models.
• Experience in power transmission, EPC, heavy engineering or complex manufacturing is a plus.
