YOUR MISSION AT VOI

As Senior Category Manager (Indirect Procurement), you will own and develop Voi’s indirect procurement for selected categories, from spend analysis and sourcing to supplier relationship management and cost optimisation. You will work closely with Procurement, Supply Chain, R&D and Voi markets, as well as senior stakeholders, to secure an efficient value chain and reduce total cost of ownership. You will play a key role in shaping how Voi partners with suppliers to support our growth and mission.

You will:

  • Set up an optimal structure for the indirect supply base in your categories.

  • Drive cost optimisation and continuous improvement programmes with stakeholders, aiming for market benchmarks.

  • Lead sourcing activities for indirect categories, proactively scanning the market for new suppliers and offers.

  • Manage contracting, supplier relationships and performance evaluations, building long-term partnerships with key suppliers.

  • Conduct negotiations with new and existing suppliers to secure availability in key and critical categories.

  • Proactively identify supply risks and apply relevant mitigation strategies.

  • Act as a subject matter expert in procurement, supporting the organisation with supplier development and procurement best practice.

WHAT YOU NEED TO EMBARK

You are a structured, driven and collaborative procurement professional who enjoys combining strategic thinking with hands-on delivery. You build strong relationships, influence senior stakeholders and feel comfortable challenging the status quo to find better solutions for Voi.

You bring:

  • Bachelor’s or master’s degree in Engineering, Business, Economics, or similar, or equivalent experience.

  • Several years of experience in purchasing and/or procurement, ideally in an international context.

  • Proven experience leading improvement or cost optimisation projects with challenging deadlines, managing multiple tasks in parallel.

  • Strong negotiation skills, with credibility built through business insight and stakeholder management.

  • Experience within 3PLs and charging infrastructure procurement, such as logistics, charging stations and facilities sourcing, is an advantage.

  • High level of independence, ownership and accountability in driving results.

  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, presentation and communication skills.

  • Proven ability to work with many stakeholders and projects simultaneously.

  • Proficiency in English; other European languages are a plus.
