To continue this incredible adventure, we are currently looking for an Indirect Procurement Lead to join our talented Procurement team at our Berlin HQ (3 days per week - Tuesday-Thursday). 

Reporting directly to the Head of Procurement, you will be the driving force behind our indirect spend strategy during a period of significant operational scaling. You’ll take full ownership of high-impact categories, with a particular emphasis on navigating complex IT landscapes and supporting large-scale facility infrastructure projects. We are looking for a sharp negotiator who thrives in a fast-paced environment and enjoys building lean, scalable procurement processes from scratch. This is a unique opportunity to act as a strategic partner to our leadership while delivering tangible commercial value across the entire organization.

🎯  What you will contribute:

• Strategic Sourcing: Develop and execute category strategies for all indirect spend, including Marketing, HR, Professional Services, and complex IT requirements.
• Supplier & Stakeholder Alignment: Build deep relationships with internal department heads and external vendors; negotiate contracts and monitor performance to ensure procurement supports specific roadmaps and broader business objectives.
• Facility & Infrastructure Projects: Lead procurement for major facility initiatives, including modernizations, and the implementation of warehouse or office automation technologies.
• IT Procurement Excellence: Manage the full lifecycle of IT sourcing - from SaaS and cloud infrastructure to hardware and telecom - ensuring we have the best tools at the most competitive TCO.
• End-to-End Execution: Own the RFx process start-to-finish, including budget ownership, supplier identification, rigorous commercial negotiations, and contract finalization.
• Process Optimization: Continuously improve our procurement policies and tools to ensure compliance, transparency, data-driven cost-optimization and decision-making.

🤝 What you bring:

• Education: A Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Supply Chain Management, or a related field.
• Experience: 4+ years in Indirect Procurement, ideally also with a proven track record managing supplier relationships in both IT and large-scale facility/CapEx projects. Experience within process setups: ERP migration and P2P implementation is considered a plus.
• Infrastructure Savvy: Experience managing procurement for facility modernization, including maintenance contracts, machinery and automation, is considered a plus. 
• Negotiation Muscle: A high level of commercial acumen with the ability to lead complex negotiations and manage multifaceted service level agreements.
• Project Leadership: The ability to juggle multiple cross-functional projects simultaneously without losing sight of the details or the deadlines.
• Analytical Mindset: Proficiency in spend analysis and the ability to use data to drive cost-saving initiatives and process improvements.
• Communication: Fluent English is a must; German at a B2 level or higher is strongly preferred to navigate local vendor landscapes effectively.

❤️‍🔥 What you will love about us:

• BVG monthly discount to drive you everywhere in Berlin
• Mental health support with Nilohealth
