Your department

You will join the Procurement team. The department looks after price agreements with suppliers, a strong supplier base and a smoothly running operational process, and consists of 3 colleagues. You report to the Procurement Manager Europe.

Your role

As Procurement Coordinator at NewPort in Moerdijk, you are responsible for agreeing prices with suppliers effectively and efficiently and for managing your own procurement portfolio.

A day in the role

You start with your colleagues and a look at your portfolio: which requests are open and which suppliers need following up? Then Operations calls with an urgent question about a transport solution, and you quickly compare price, quality and reliability. Later in the day you visit a supplier from your portfolio and then update everything neatly.

You agree prices and terms with suppliers, looking at price, quality, reliability and payment terms
You manage your own procurement portfolio and maintain contact with suppliers, including during visits
You record agreements, contracts and administrative data in our system and follow them up
You analyse supplier performance and costs, including in a scorecard, and give Operations concrete insights

Good Dutch and English, spoken and written
A feel for negotiating, planning and organising; analytical and cost-conscious
Independent, responsible and driven, with strong communication skills
