About The Role

We are missing a special ingredient. Could it be you?

Are you an experienced Buyer with a desire to develop towards category management? As Buyer Business Services, you will support a diverse portfolio of 18 subcategories, with a strong focus on Temporary Labour, HR Services, Travel, and Mobility.

Professional German and English and relevant procurement experience in Temporary Labour, HR Services and Travel are essential. Experience with fleet management, mobility, or other professional services is an advantage. More than your educational background, we value your ability to quickly understand new categories and complex stakeholder dynamics.

You are structured, commercially minded, and comfortable managing multiple projects in an international environment. You will work from our Düsseldorf office two to three days per week and travel internationally for up to 25% of your time. If you develop quickly, this role offers the opportunity to take ownership of categories and progress towards a Category Manager position.

Your BIG Development Opportunity As Our Buyer Business Services

As Buyer Business Services, you will support the management of a diverse and complex portfolio of services that are essential to Intersnack’s daily operations. These include categories such as Temporary Labour, HR services, travel and mobility, outsourced business services, and other professional services across the Intersnack Group.

This is a varied role that combines operational procurement with sourcing, supplier management, and category development. You will act as an important link between Procurement, internal stakeholders, and suppliers: resolving operational issues, supporting sourcing projects, monitoring supplier performance, and helping improve procurement processes.

Working closely with the Senior Category Manager, you will gradually take on broader responsibilities. This makes the position an excellent opportunity to develop from a hands-on procurement role towards independent category management in an international organisation

Resolve supplier, service, system, and process-related issues in collaboration with internal stakeholders and suppliers.
Support category strategies through spend analysis, market research, supplier benchmarking, and improvement initiatives.
Coordinate sourcing projects, including RFIs, RFQs, RFPs, bid evaluations, supplier negotiations, and implementation.
Monitor supplier performance, contribute to supplier reviews, and address performance, compliance, and supply risks.
Build effective relationships with Group functions, operating companies, suppliers, and other stakeholders.
Support contract preparation, implementation, administration, renewals, and supplier transitions.
Maintain accurate procurement data and documentation and support compliance reviews, audits, and risk assessments.
Identify recurring operational issues and help improve procurement processes, efficiency, and service quality.
