• Research prospective suppliers, emerging technologies, and market developments to inform strategic sourcing.
• Collect due diligence materials from vendors — such as ISO certificates and sustainability reports — in line with DORA and MaRisk obligations.
• Build monthly spend analyses and KPI dashboards for senior leadership using Excel or business intelligence tools.
• Serve as a go-to contact for internal teams on procurement policies and the status of purchase orders.

Qualifications

• A genuine affinity for numbers and a comfort working with data.
• Strong command of MS Office, particularly Excel and PowerPoint; hands-on experience with ERP systems is a welcome bonus.
