Senior Procurement Specialist (m/f/d)

About the Role at RobCo

At RobCo, we develop AI-powered robotic systems that make industrial processes more autonomous, efficient, and scalable. Our Autonomous Manufacturing Platform combines modular industrial hardware with physical AI, enabling rapid deployment and continuous optimization in real production environments.

With locations in Munich, San Francisco, and Austin, and backed by leading investors such as Lightspeed, Lingotto Innovation, and Sequoia, we are working to redefine industrial automation.

At RobCo, we automate the ordinary, so humans can do the extraordinary. To achieve this, we are looking for an ambitious Senior Procurement Specialist (m/f/d) to help us establish RobCo as leading provider of automation solutions.

Your Responsibilities

• Independent responsibility for project-related purchasing and series purchasing of materials, components and services

• End-to-end management of the purchasing process: request for information (RFI), supplier selection, requests for quotations, quotation comparison, negotiations, conclusion of framework agreements and order processing

• Ensuring on-time deliveries while taking costs, quality and risk into account
  Supplier management: establishing and maintaining supplier relationships, classification and continuous evaluation of suppliers

• ERP system maintenance: managing and updating master data and ensuring data quality

• Close cooperation with solution engineers, design engineers, production and SCM to meet project goals

• Participation in projects and process optimisation, including the implementation of new procurement strategies

• Analysing supplier performance and deriving measures to optimise supply chain performance

We're looking for someone who has:

• Several years of experience in purchasing projects and series products, ideally in a fast-growing, dynamic environment

• In-depth knowledge of supplier management and negotiation techniques

• Confident use of ERP systems and experience in master data maintenance

• Ability to make decisions independently, set priorities and manage projects on schedule

• Strong communication (German and English) and teamwork skills; experience in working with technical departments

• Project management skills, analytical thinking and structured approach to work

Why join RobCo?

• Develop modular, software-defined robotics solutions with us that set new standards in automation.

• Help us build robots equipped with state-of-the-art AI that perceive their environment, analyze data, and make intelligent decisions in real time.

• As part of a very dynamic and fast-growing scale-up, you will take on responsibility from day one, drive your own projects, and see the direct impact of your work.

• Flat hierarchies, open communication, and regular 360° feedback enable fast decisions and support your professional and personal development.

• Work out across Germany in over 7,200 studios with our subsidized Wellpass membership.

• Flexible working hours, a modern office, and—depending on the role—the option to work from home.

• Regular team events—from relaxed beer & pizza nights on the rooftop terrace to shared experiences on ski trips or at Oktoberfest.
