• Monitor supplier performance and compliance with contractual obligations.
• Handle contract variations, claims, and commercial disputes where required.
• Maintain strong relationships with suppliers and key internal stakeholders.

Continuous Improvement

• Identify and implement value-creation and cost-saving opportunities.
• Promote best practices and share lessons learned across assets and functions.

Qualifications

Who are you?

You are a commercially driven professional with experience in contract and supplier management within a complex operational environment. You combine strong analytical skills with a pragmatic mindset and are comfortable working with both commercial details and broader business objectives.

You build strong relationships, communicate confidently with stakeholders at all levels, and take ownership of delivering results. Structured and proactive by nature, you thrive in a dynamic environment where priorities can shift and no two days are the same.

Next to this you bring:

• A degree in a commercial, legal, engineering or similar discipline
• Minimum 3 years of relevant experience in contract, commercial or procurement roles - preferably in renewables, energy, oil & gas, or other complex industries
• Experience interpreting, managing, supporting and negotiating commercial agreements supported by a strong commercial mindset
