Indirect Procurement Manager – Operations

This is a strategic procurement role where you'll own a portfolio of indirect categories (Facilities Management, MRO and Utilities) across HelloFresh's European production sites, designing and executing category strategies that deliver real P&L impact. You'll be a trusted partner to Operations, Engineering, and Finance leadership, shaping how HelloFresh invests in and runs its production network.

What you'll do

• Design and execute category strategies: spend analysis, market intelligence, supplier landscape assessments, and sourcing roadmaps
• Lead complex RFx events and negotiate high-value contracts delivering TCO savings, not just unit price reductions
• Build and manage preferred supplier portfolio per category: qualification, KPIs, and continuous improvement
• Partner with senior stakeholders in Operations, Engineering, and Finance across multiple European markets
• Translate business needs into procurement strategies proactively
• Drive governance and best-practice adoption: contract management, supplier risk, and compliance
• Present category strategies and sourcing outcomes clearly to Director and VP-level audiences

What you'll need

• 5+ years in indirect or operations procurement, with genuine category depth, not surface-level exposure
• Multi-category experience in an operations or manufacturing environment (FM, MRO, Utilities, etc.)
• Proven strategic sourcing skills: RFx design, complex negotiation, and contract structuring for technically complex purchases
• Track record of influencing and building trust with senior, cross-functional stakeholders across European markets
• Fluent in English; German and/or French language skills are a plus
• Strong analytical mindset: spend data, cost modelling, benchmarking, and business case development
• Able to travel to production sites across Europe, if required

What they offer

• 2-year initial contract
• Competitive compensation package with subsidized Pension Scheme and Berlin relocation support
• Hybrid working model
• HelloFresh-subsidized weekly box and office meals
• Annual learning & development budget, German language learning budget, and access to HelloFresh Academy
• Mental health support, 24/7 gym access, Headspace and Spill wellness platforms, and sabbatical leave options
