Procurement Specialist

As a Procurement Specialist in Caffeina, you make it a mission to build a relationship with a supplier and see them as more than a signed contract to build a solid partnership that can grow. 

You know that suppliers are a resource, and you know how to make the most of them, so their quality is directly reflected in Caffeina’s activities. 

You have a strong passion for numbers (because every euro is important), and you know how to manipulate them fluently. In life, you value saving and negotiate to achieve it.

Your mission is not to be the “bad” purchasing office that imposes limits and rules but to be the consultant for all of Caffeina in choosing quality at the right price.

You are part of the Corporate Management team and work closely with the Client Services, Administration, and Legal teams. You are a cross-functional presence throughout Caffeina. You are responsible for managing and monitoring direct and indirect costs and are the first point of reference for activities involving external partners.
