Strategic Buyer (m/f/d)
Signature Consulting GmbH specialises in the occupation of specialist and executives in medium-sized companies and large corporations - from expert level to C level positions.
Our client is an internationally established manufacturer in mechanical engineering with a focus on high-quality stainless steel pumps and system solutions for demanding industries. The company stands for quality "Made in Germany", long-term supplier relationships and high technical manufacturing depth. As a global player with medium-sized structure, it combines stability with innovative strength.
We are looking for a Senior Strategic Buyer (m/w/d). The aim is to build the procurement at national and international level and to align it with the future.
Are you in strategic purchasing at home, thinking in product groups instead of in orders? Do you want to take responsibility for key issues and develop the procurement sustainably? To do this, you are safely moving between strategic orientation and operational implementation, as you see the basis for sustainable success in purchasing? Then you will find a role with real influence: close to the strategy, close to the technology, after the operational purchasing, with direct impact on value added and supply chain. This position is aimed at experienced buyers: those who want to take the next step: more strategic responsibility and international topics.
We look forward to your application under the reference number NIS-2026-00088. .
