We are seeking a hands-on Procurement Lead to build, professionalize, and continuously improve our central procurement function during a critical phase of growth and transformation. This role combines strong commercial ownership with process design and operational execution and requires someone who is comfortable taking initiative in a dynamic, fast-moving environment. You will be responsible for shaping how procurement operates across the organization — from sourcing and negotiations to tooling, governance, and adoption. The role goes beyond high-level strategy and requires direct involvement in complex negotiations, vendor selection, and the implementation and improvement of procurement processes that scale with the business. The scope of procurement is broad and varied, covering everything from cloud/SaaS solutions to professional services. This requires a fast learner who can quickly understand new domains, identify key commercial drivers, and move decisively.

You will:

• Design, implement, and continuously improve end-to-end procurement processes, from sourcing and contracting through purchasing, approvals, and supplier management.
• Lead commercial negotiations end-to-end, securing competitive pricing, strong contractual terms, and appropriate risk protections across a wide range of spend categories.
• Proactively source and evaluate vendors, running structured sourcing and market analysis processes to identify the best partners for the business.
• Translate business needs into clear commercial and contractual requirements, even when information is incomplete or evolving.
• Own the rollout, optimization, and adoption of procurement tools and workflows, ensuring they are practical, efficient, and embedded in daily operations.
• Build and lead a central procurement function, including governance, policies, templates, and operating standards.
• Drive measurable cost savings, value creation, and risk reduction through both better deals and better processes.
• Partner closely with Finance, Legal, IT, Marketing, and Supply Chain to enable the business while maintaining clear procurement ownership.
• Use data and reporting to monitor performance and continuously improve procurement effectiveness

We offer:

• Naturally, you will receive a salary that matches your work experience  
• Meal tickets 
• Private medical subscription 
• 20% discount on all vidaXL products 
• Massage at the office
• Discount on ESX subscription
• Opportunities to develop yourself
• 23 vacation days per year

You have:

• 5+ years of procurement experience, with at least 2 years in a senior, standalone, or leadership role in a fast-paced environment (e-commerce, tech, or high-growth companies preferred).
• Strong and proven negotiation skills, with experience leading complex commercial discussions across different categories.
• Demonstrated experience in designing and implementing procurement processes, not just operating within existing frameworks.
• Hands-on experience implementing and improving procurement tooling, including PO, CLM, or Source-to-Pay solutions.
• Ability to quickly understand new domains (technology, SaaS, finance, services) and focus on what matters commercially.
• Strong project management and stakeholder management skills.
• Solid understanding of procurement best practices, contract structures, compliance, and supplier risk management.
• Comfortable building structure and clarity in an evolving organization.
