Head of Strategic Purchasing Group, 80 - 100%

Our companies today procure independently – from production materials like 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. To this end, we are creating this new position: We are looking for a strategic purchasing professional who knows the market, consolidates needs, establishes framework contracts, and conducts negotiations together with the line managers.
