    We're looking for a Sourcing Manager, motivated and open-minded professionals who will join our journey to personal and company growth

    This position is crucial for directing sourcing initiatives on both a regional and global scale in the colocation and data center connectivity industries. The Sourcing Manager's responsibilities include deeply understanding the needs of internal customers, analyzing supply market trends, and formulating and implementing sourcing strategies. Responsibilities also encompass the selection and negotiation with suppliers, overseeing their integration, and maintaining ongoing relationships with strategic suppliers. Moreover, this role is responsible for enhancing the collaboration between the Procurement function and relevant internal stakeholders, serving as the primary authority on supply management within the specific areas of colocation and data center connectivity. Effective collaboration with teams across Procurement, Project Management, Logistics, Finance, and Legal is essential to guarantee fluid and efficient service delivery.

    Your Responsibilities:

    Develop and execute global and regional sourcing activities, focusing on the professionalization of sourcing for colocation and data center connectivity services.

    Craft and execute sourcing strategies for spend clusters within the colocation and connectivity space, managing the entire tendering process, supplier negotiations, and contract management.

    Engage directly with internal stakeholders and functional teams to influence purchasing behavior and implement approved sourcing strategies.

    Analyze internal needs and supply market dynamics, including supplier landscapes, price trends, and cost drivers.

    Communicate supply agreements and changes effectively to operational teams.

    Support the Procurement Managers in conducting ongoing supplier relationship management, striving for continuous improvement and leading supplier-driven innovation and cost-saving initiatives.

    Support the design and use of appropriate "buying channels" within the stakeholder community.

    Rigorously apply sourcing processes and tools.

    Challenges:

    Establishing credibility and confidence with stakeholders to influence change and overcome resistance to new supply relationships.

    Demonstrating the value of a professional supply management approach to traditionally independent business areas.

    Navigating diverse business cultures, processes, and demands across multiple operating units.

    Balancing in-depth knowledge of the colocation and data center connectivity portfolio with the need to stay aligned with internal business strategies.

    Scope:

    Responsible for a significant IT global yearly spend, approximately €50 Million.

    Collaborate across business units, including Product Management, Project Management, IT support, Procurement, Finance, and Legal.

    We expect you to have:

    Education: University degree in IT, Business, or a related field, with IT procurement certifications preferred.

    Experience: 5+ years in IT Services procurement, especially in colocation and data center connectivity, with a proven track record in successful sourcing activities, spend analysis, and negotiations.

    Languages: Excellent English proficiency required; additional European languages are a plus.

    Analytical mindset, with a healthy professional skepticism

    Strong negotiation and relationship management skills.

    Experience in IT services, with telecom and hardware category knowledge being advantageous.

    Demonstrated ability in managing complex supplier relationships.

    Breakthrough Thinking: Ability to innovate in supply management and change buying behaviors to derive new value from external markets.

    Influencing: Skill in advocating for change among skeptical and resistant stakeholders.

    Team Commitment: Working cooperatively across the organization to achieve shared goals.

    Organizational Awareness: Understanding internal dynamics to effectively drive change.

    What We Offer:

    We aim to offer benefits that ensure you feel and give your best. The benefits vary by region, but you can expect perks like:

    • Competitive salary;
    • Flexible schedule;
    • Remote, hybrid, or office work;
