Functie
As a Process Specialist Procurement you standardize purchasing processes and ensure implementation of these standardizations throughout the complete Neways Group and its existing operating companies.
You operate strategically, should work analytically, and use these analytical skills to identify improvable processes, set company-wide standards, and ensure effective implementation. You are responsible for the implementation of realistic development paths, resulting in a solid purchasing process.

You collaborate closely with the supply chain management team and the IT department, meaning you should understand the functionalities and parameter settings of ERP systems used by large, internationally oriented organizations. These teams assist you in technologically supporting the process methodology you apply to internal processes.
As Process Specialist Procurement you are assigned the following tasks and responsibilities:
- Developing a vision for the Neways' purchasing process
- Developing (continuous) improvement projects and supporting tools
- Developing technical and financial business cases in order to implement purchase process improvements
- Supporting and following up on the implementation of the standardized purchasing process
- Advising regarding all aspects of purchase processes
- Evaluating implemented process improvements
- Maintaining good business relations with other business process specialists and process owners
- Assisting purchasing and planning departments in solving process-related and change-related issues
- Contributing to bridging the gap between operational business and Neways' strategy
