Job Description
We're looking for a self-driven Purchasing & Indirect Procurement Coordinator ready to lead local indirect purchasing and play a key role in implementing new group-wide processes—with the support of your manager, but no one leading you step-by-step.
This is a hands-on, independent role in a middle, agile organization. You'll help design and roll out SAP Ariba solutions (we’re building as we go!), and manage everything from IT to car fleet operations, including office space-related needs. You'll also act as the main point of contact with group procurement (France).
If you're process-oriented, thrive in dynamic environments, and want to help shape how things are done, this role is for you. Success in this position requires a proactive, well-organized, and adaptable approach, along with strong communication skills and a natural ability to build relationships across teams. A problem-solving mindset, keen attention to detail, and the ability to work independently are essential.
Responsibilities:
- Lead vendor selection, contract negotiations, and supplier relationship management.
- Implementation of regional and local procurement policies.
- Ensure compliance with corporate procurement policies and maintain accurate procurement records.
- Coordinate supplier evaluations and support local BUs in maintaining review processes and aligning with sustainability goals.
- Oversee company fleet operations, including utilization, maintenance, and contracts.
- Manage office space procurement, renovations, leasing, and liaise with landlords and facility providers.
- Align office planning with business needs and manage related budgets.
- Act as the main liaison for SAP Ariba between group and local teams.
- Support local users, escalate issues, and ensure effective use and alignment with procurement processes.
- Oversee vendor data and coordinate SAP Ariba implementations with local key users and finance.
- Monitor budgets, track procurement KPIs, and identify cost-saving opportunities.
- Ensure procurement compliance with internal and external standards.
- Drive process improvements, support sustainability initiatives, and adopt procurement innovations.
- Collaborate with Finance, HR, IT, and regional teams to align procurement with organizational goals and ensure consistency across locations.
- Manage procurement of IT, office supplies, and other indirect categories, ensuring cost-effectiveness and quality.
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Supply Chain Management, Procurement, or a related field; Master’s degree is a strong plus.
- At least 3 years of experience in procurement, indirect purchasing, office processes, or fleet management.
- Knowledge of office space leasing and facility management is an advantage.
- Experience in multinational environments and familiarity with regional procurement practices.
- Proficient in procurement platforms such as SAP Ariba, SAP, or similar systems.
- Strong project management skills, especially in process optimization and tool implementation.
- Excellent negotiation, communication, and vendor management skills.
- Analytical thinker with a proactive, problem-solving approach.
- Fluent in English and Polish; additional regional languages are a plus.
- Self-motivated and able to work independently while driving continuous improvements.
- Skilled at explaining complex topics and coordinating effectively across teams.
- Highly organized, able to manage multiple priorities without losing sight of details.
- Collaborative and adaptable, comfortable working with diverse teams and stakeholders.
