Indirect Procurement Specialist

Company Description

As an Indirect Procurement Specialist, you’ll play a key role in keeping our operations running smoothly by managing the day-to-day procurement activities across a range of employee-related categories — including fleet, mobile, bikes, and other services. You’ll be the central contact point for both suppliers and internal stakeholders, ensuring seamless execution of the procure-to-pay (P2P) process, from purchase orders to invoice resolution.

This is a role for someone who enjoys bringing structure and efficiency to processes, solving problems proactively, and building strong working relationships. You’ll not only handle operational procurement execution but also support reporting, data analysis, and continuous improvements — all while making sure our procurement activities comply with policies, standards, and sustainability goals.

In this role, you’ll serve as the first point of contact for procurement-related queries. You’ll collaborate with suppliers to resolve service, delivery, or invoicing issues, support supplier onboarding, and monitor performance. You’ll also work closely with internal teams to ensure operational activities align with strategic sourcing initiatives, driving both consistency and value.

Process Compliance & Optimization

You’ll make sure all procurement activities adhere to policies and compliance standards while also identifying opportunities for process improvements. Acting as the team’s go-to person for SAP systems, you’ll support enhancements, provide user training, and contribute to operational playbooks and onboarding guides. Your work will also help embed sustainability and governance principles into our procurement practices.

Data & Reporting
