Head of Group Strategic Procurement, 80 - 100%

Our companies independently procure today – from production materials such as cement and binders to construction machinery, cranes and vehicles, as well as technical components and a wide range of services. This works well – now we want to make more of it. For this purpose, we are creating this new position: We are looking for a strategic procurement professional who knows the market, consolidates requirements, establishes framework agreements, and conducts negotiations together with the line managers.
