About Grover

Founded in 2015, Grover enables consumers and businesses across Europe to subscribe to tech devices and comprehensive technology solutions - from individual smartphones, laptops, and wearables to full corporate device setups. The company offers access to over 1,000 unique tech items on flexible and financially convenient terms. A pioneer of the circular economy, Grover refurbishes and recirculates devices to help eliminate e-waste.

To continue this incredible adventure, we are currently looking for an Indirect Procurement Lead to join our talented Procurement team at our Berlin HQ (3 days per week - Tuesday-Thursday). 

Reporting directly to the Head of Procurement, you will be the driving force behind our indirect spend strategy during a period of significant operational scaling. You’ll take full ownership of high-impact categories, with a particular emphasis on navigating complex IT landscapes and supporting large-scale facility infrastructure projects. We are looking for a sharp negotiator who thrives in a fast-paced environment and enjoys building lean, scalable procurement processes from scratch. This is a unique opportunity to act as a strategic partner to our leadership while delivering tangible commercial value across the entire organization.

🎯  What you will contribute:

  • Strategic Sourcing: Develop and execute category strategies for all indirect spend, including Marketing, HR, Professional Services, and complex IT requirements.
  • Supplier & Stakeholder Alignment: Build deep relationships with internal department heads and external vendors; negotiate contracts and monitor performance to ensure procurement supports specific roadmaps and broader business objectives.
  • Facility & Infrastructure Projects: Lead procurement for major facility initiatives, including modernizations, and the implementation of warehouse or office automation technologies.
  • IT Procurement Excellence: Manage the full lifecycle of IT sourcing - from SaaS and cloud infrastructure to hardware and telecom - ensuring we have the best tools at the most competitive TCO.
  • End-to-End Execution: Own the RFx process start-to-finish, including budget ownership, supplier identification, rigorous commercial negotiations, and contract finalization.
  • Process Optimization: Continuously improve our procurement policies and tools to ensure compliance, transparency, data-driven cost-optimization and decision-making.

🤝 What you bring:

  • Education: A Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Supply Chain Management, or a related field.
  • Experience: 4+ years in Indirect Procurement, ideally also with a proven track record managing supplier relationships in both IT and large-scale facility/CapEx projects. Experience within process setups: ERP migration and P2P implementation is considered a plus.
  • Infrastructure Savvy: Experience managing procurement for facility modernization, including maintenance contracts, machinery and automation, is considered a plus. 
  • Negotiation Muscle: A high level of commercial acumen with the ability to lead complex negotiations and manage multifaceted service level agreements.
  • Project Leadership: The ability to juggle multiple cross-functional projects simultaneously without losing sight of the details or the deadlines.
  • Analytical Mindset: Proficiency in spend analysis and the ability to use data to drive cost-saving initiatives and process improvements.
  • Communication: Fluent English is a must; German at a B2 level or higher is strongly preferred to navigate local vendor landscapes effectively.

❤️‍🔥 What you will love about us:

  • BVG monthly discount to drive you everywhere in Berlin
  • Mental health support with Nilohealth
  • Physical health support with Urban Sports Club
  • Annual learning budget of 750€ 
  • Exclusive Grover Tech discount for you & your loved ones
  • Engaging, open office located in Berlin-Schöneberg with regular events, and is dog-friendly
  • A diverse global team of 75 nationalities (and counting!) - genuinely the nicest group of colleagues who will soon become friends

Embark on a rewarding journey with the Grover Rocketship, where your impact is felt, and together, we cultivate a more circular world. 💚

We are looking forward to e-meeting you! 🚀

What We Do

Grover is Europe’s market leader in technology rentals, enabling people to subscribe to tech products monthly instead of buying them.

With Grover, subscribers get access to a wide range of over 3,000 tech products, including smartphones, laptops, virtual reality (VR) gear, wearables and smart home appliances on a flexible monthly rental basis. Grover’s service allows its users to keep, switch, buy, or return products depending on their individual needs and budget. Rentals are available in Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, Spain and the United States on GROVER.COM, as well as – in Germany – through Grover’s online and offline partner network, including Europe’s leading electronics retail group, MediaMarktSaturn. Grover is a pioneer in the advancement of the Circular Economy and the number of circulations has been over 500,000 devices. Its business model of renting out tech products to several users across their life cycle allows maximum value to be extracted from each product and reduces e-waste. With a total financing volume of around €1.4bn, and 400+ employees, Grover is one of Germany’s best-funded scale-ups.
