Job Description

Purpose of the position

Germany is one of Europes most important renewable energy markets, with continued investment in the energy transition, grid infrastructure, digitalisation and supply chain resilience. Procurement plays a critical role in securing competitive value, managing supplier capacity, strengthening sustainability due diligence and balancing cost, quality, risk and speed of delivery.

Partner with the business: Act as a trusted commercial partner to German stakeholders, Group Procurement and relevant business areas, translating business needs into clear procurement priorities and pragmatic solutions.

Drive procurement performance: Strengthen sourcing, category collaboration, supplier competitiveness and commercial decision-making across development, capital projects and operations.

Manage projects and contracts: Lead procurement and contract management activities for refurbishment, greenfield and operational projects across relevant renewable technologies, ensuring robust commercial and contractual outcomes.

Build supplier relationships: Develop productive relationships with local and international suppliers, in close cooperation with category managers and business stakeholders.
