Operational IT Buyer

You don't have to be at the controls of the IT systems to make an impact. Behind every IT solution are suppliers, contracts, and agreements that must be well-managed. And that is where you come in. As an Operational IT Buyer, you ensure that our IT contracts are correct and that supplier relationships run smoothly. You combine administrative accuracy with supplier contact and think along about smart purchasing choices and cost control.

At ForFarmers, you get more than a job - you get the space to grow, with plenty of freedom and responsibility.

Additionally, you can count on:

• An attractive salary between € 4,643 and € 6,633 per month (full-time) tailored to your talents and experience.
• An Individual Choice Budget (IKB) of over 17%. More salary, extra time off, or a combination of both? You decide.
• 25 vacation days (full-time), with the flexibility to make choices that suit your situation.
• A tax-efficient choice scheme for, among other things, a bicycle, gym membership, tablet/smartphone, or making your home more sustainable.
• IT equipment to perform your work optimally and a travel allowance.
• Flexible working, including a home office allowance and a voucher for setting up your home workspace.
• A varied role within a stable, sustainable, and listed organization.

You ensure that our IT procurement processes run smoothly and that supplier agreements are well-arranged. You maintain an overview of contracts, monitor important deadlines, and ensure that colleagues can quickly proceed with their procurement requests. You work closely with colleagues from IT, Finance, and Legal and are a regular point of contact for suppliers. Thanks to your structured way of working, contracts are up to date, agreements are clear, and processes are well-organized. Additionally, you see opportunities to set things up more smartly or efficiently and take on improvements independently.

• Coordinating IT procurement requests from request to completion.
• Requesting, evaluating, negotiating, and processing quotes and contracts.
• Managing IT contracts and monitoring quality, durations, and renewals.
• Maintaining contact with suppliers regarding prices, agreements, and deliveries.
• Identifying opportunities for improvement and savings within the procurement process.

• HBO (Higher Professional Education) working and thinking level.
• Experience with procurement and management of IT contracts, and with supplier management.
• A structured way of working and an eye for detail.
• Ownership: you see what needs to be done and take action.
• Good communication skills in Dutch and English.

Do you get energy from organizing, improving, and monitoring IT procurement processes? And are you the one who maintains an overview when contracts, suppliers, and agreements converge?
