• Translating customer needs into functional Ivalua configurations and workflows.

• 3–5 years of experience in S2P/SRM implementations (Ivalua, Coupa, SAP Ariba, Zycus, etc.) at a consulting firm specializing in procurement digitization.
• Experience in organizing functional workshops, configuration, training, and testing.
• Understanding of technical integration concepts: APIs, data flows, mapping, troubleshooting.
• Strong IT skills and advanced knowledge of Microsoft Office (Excel, PowerPoint).
• Knowledge of procurement processes (S2C, P2P, category management) is a major plus.
• Fluent in Dutch and English (written and spoken).
• Strong communication skills and experience in customer-focused roles.
• Accurate, structured, and detail-oriented.
• Strong analytical skills, proactive, solution-oriented, and comfortable working in fast-growing startups.
• Passionate about procurement, strategy, and driving transformative change.
• Strong communicator with excellent verbal, written, and presentation skills.
• A self-starter with the ability to adapt, improvise, and solve problems in a dynamic environment.
• Experience in assisting with the preparation of proposals and pitches, as well as business development activities, is a plus.
• Strong analytical skills.
• With initiative, drive, entrepreneurial spirit, and creativity, able to work effectively both independently and as part of a team.

Personal characteristics:

• A self-reliant individual who works both independently and as part of a team, with the ability to thrive in a rapidly growing environment.
• Ability to switch easily between functional and technical thinking.
• Willing to work in an international environment.
• Respect for customers' cultures, perspectives, and paradigms.
