fulltime Procurement Specialist vacatures

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. It is up to you, as an independent professional, to steer the critical compliance process through the inquiry phase. You can execute this project remotely, but Danone welcomes you to their Hoofddorp office three days a week to directly engage with the Procurement Team.

You transform an operational process necessity into a strategic victory. You are the crucial point of contact for all Benelux suppliers during their review of the new contracts.

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.

• You have a solid legal/juridical background or relevant experience in contract management/compliance.
• You excel in working autonomously and have a proven track record in managing large, complex supplier portfolios.
• You are available immediately or in the very short term for this challenging assignment.

• An interim salary between € 4.000 and € 4.700 per month based on 40 hours
• A contract for a fixed period of 32-40 hours per week, 4 months for now
• A monthly individual choice budget (IKB) of 10.66% of your salary that you can deploy flexibly
