You already have several years of experience in procurement. You know the purchasing process, negotiate with suppliers, and know how to achieve results. You may want to apply your expertise in a different sector, take on new challenges, or assume more responsibility. As a Procurement Consultant, you will work on improvement projects and can take on temporary purchasing roles at various organizations. You will be part of a team with the expertise of more than 300 colleagues within a consulting group.
What you do
Depending on your experience, interests, and customer needs, you will take on various types of assignments.
Procurement projects.
- Strategic sourcing & category management: developing purchasing strategies, analyzing spend, and selecting suppliers.
- Direct & indirect procurement: purchasing raw materials, technical goods, IT, facility, services, and other categories.
- Procurement excellence: optimizing purchasing processes, governance, and KPIs.
- Cost savings & value creation: conducting negotiations, optimizing contracts, and realizing sustainable improvements.
Ad-interim expert assignments. Sometimes the right procurement expertise is temporarily lacking, or a crucial position needs to be filled. In such cases, you will take on an active role within the purchasing department for a certain period, for example as a (Senior) Buyer, Category Manager, Procurement Lead, or Procurement Manager, depending on your experience. You will not exclusively be an advisor but will take responsibility for suppliers, negotiations, purchasing files, and daily operations.
