Procurement Manager vacatures in Hoofddorp

Bedrijfsomschrijving

Danone is one of the most forward-thinking organizations in the field of sustainable food. By working on this crucial procurement challenge, you contribute to the next step in their compliance and make an impact directly on their business operations. You work in a dynamic, international environment where your expertise and decisiveness are central. This is your chance to elevate your career to a higher level.

This is the position where you will make a direct impact on the entire Benelux supply chain for an international food giant. Danone's general procurement terms have recently changed, and the conditions have already been sent to all suppliers.

Your primary focus is acting as the dedicated Subject Matter Expert (SME) for Danone's international supplier base (between 2,000 and 5,000) in the Benelux. You take the lead in communication by being available to follow up via phone and email. You address all questions regarding the new General Terms and Procurement Renewal and clearly and expertly explain the changes, ensuring supplier understanding and eventual compliance. You report on the nature of inquiries and potential compliance roadblocks directly to Danone Procurement Management. Your decisive approach and communication skills ensure a smooth transition, minimise risks, and guarantee operational continuity.
