Job description

The role

This is a strategic procurement role and you'll own a portfolio of indirect categories (Facilities Management [FM], MRO and  Utilities, MRO) 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. The role reports to the Director Indirect Procurement.

Above all, we are looking for people who will make HelloFresh better. We believe there are many different ways of developing skills and we love diverse experiences! So even if you don’t “tick all the boxes” but think you’d thrive in this role, we would really like to learn more about you.

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

  • 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
  • Support broader Procurement Ops team, if necessary, in CapEx, MHE, etc. projects.

What you’ll bring

  • 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.); the broader and deeper, the stronger the profile
  • 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.

    Please submit your resume in English.
