As a Procurement Manager (or Procurator), you are primarily responsible for everything related to the purchase of materials or services in a company. You plan processes with suppliers, negotiate and conclude contracts, keep track of costs, plan and optimise the supply chain, monitor the deadlines for agreed manufacturing milestones, and coordinate transportation and storage for one or more sites. You must have a comprehensive understanding of the market, always be informed about new developments or possibilities for subcontracting and, if necessary, be able to initiate and manage changes.
