Do you thrive in transformation environments and have the leadership capability to take procurement to the next level? We are

looking for a Procurement Development Manager who will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of procurement within a leading

international energy company.

As Procurement Development Manager, you will own and deliver the Procurement Development roadmap, leading a multi-year

establish world-class procurement practices, strengthen organizational capabilities, and ensure procurement is recognized as a

strategic business partner.

This is a unique opportunity to lead a global procurement transformation journey in a company that is actively contributing to the

energy transition and helping build a more sustainable future. You will be responsible for driving procurement excellence across

processes, governance, digitalization, capability building, ESG, and supplier management while influencing stakeholders across

multiple countries, cultures, and business functions.

• Design and implement best-practice procurement policies, frameworks, and playbooks that can be applied across countries, legal

entities, and categories.

• Develop and maintain procurement tools strategy, including solutions such as eSourcing, Contract Lifecycle Management, supplier

portals, and analytics platforms.

• Establish common procurement data standards, KPI frameworks, and performance reporting structures to enable global transparency

and comparability.

• Drive change management and adoption of new tools, processes, and ways of working across Procurement, Finance, Operations, and

the wider business.

• Lead and inspire a highly diverse and international team, creating a culture of growth, collaboration, courage, and continuous

improvement.

At VAROPreem, you will join a welcoming and collaborative workplace where trust, personal responsibility, and professional

development are highly valued. As the energy sector undergoes its most significant transformation in decades, you will have the

opportunity to contribute to both today's energy needs and tomorrow's more sustainable solutions.

We offer a high degree of autonomy and encourage employees to take initiative, challenge established ways of working, and help

shape the future of our business.
