Dit ga je doen

As a Category Manager Indirect Procurement, you will play a crucial role in Boels' strategic sourcing activities. You will develop and implement procurement strategies for various indirect spend categories, including HR, Marketing & Communications, and Transport & Logistics.

You will work closely with internal stakeholders and have a direct impact on cost savings and quality improvements across our international markets. As a true connector within the organization, you will use your expertise to elevate our procurement processes to the next level.
