Requirements

What we're looking for

We prefer if you have at least 5 years of experience in a procurement function, with a focus on the ICT domain within an organization subject to procurement regulations. This may, of course, be in a hospital, but is not a requirement. Challenge us; we are curious about you and would love to get to know you.

You have multi-year experience with complex tender processes within the ICT domain with a focus on software;
You communicate fluently in Dutch and have mastered the English language to such an extent that you can conduct a conversation in English and draft an email in English;
You have an affinity with technological developments; you understand the impact of topics on business operations;
You have (basic) knowledge of information security and privacy (such as NEN 7510, ISO 27001, and privacy legislation);
You have sound knowledge of the Public Procurement Act and other relevant laws and regulations and/or you are willing to deepen this knowledge by following a course or training;
You are communicatively skilled and social; you know how to express yourself well in speech and writing, both in a negotiation and in contact with your colleagues in the hospital;
You are aware that ICT projects with large parties can be intensive;
You are analytical and can work in a project-based manner; a spend analysis or a procurement process often requires this;
You possess a certain (organizational) sensitivity and persuasiveness, or you have the ability to develop this sufficiently. This helps you build and maintain relationships.
Additionally, you are innovative and creative. This does not necessarily mean that you paint or play an instrument, but that you are creative in solutions and dare to think outside the box.

The role

Do you want to use your procurement expertise to contribute to better healthcare, innovative education, groundbreaking research, and efficient business operations? As an ICT Procurement Advisor, you ensure that the digital facilities of Radboudumc remain secure, future-proof, and affordable.

In this role, you will guide complex (European) tenders, negotiate with suppliers, and advise on strategic procurement issues. In doing so, you will work closely with the Information Management staff department and your colleagues within Procurement. You connect the needs of the organization with the possibilities of the market and ensure that ICT solutions actually add value.

You are the link between ICT, the user, and the market. Together, you ensure reliable, secure, and future-proof IT that healthcare professionals, researchers, teachers, and employees can rely on. In this, you look beyond just legality. Affordability, innovation, sustainability, and continuity also play an important role. Additionally, you work together with the other UMCs within UMCNL to share knowledge, act collectively, and realize economies of scale where possible.

This position combines social impact, strategic advice, and commercial challenge. A great opportunity for an experienced, entrepreneurial, and connecting professional who knows how to translate complex ICT issues into smart and efficient expenditures that deliver maximum value for healthcare, research, education, and business operations.

Naturally with the ultimate goal: making the healthcare of tomorrow possible.

Is this something for you and do you want to get to know us? Respond now!

What you'll do

You will work in the Procurement department; procurement processes above and below the tender threshold are your core business;
You are responsible for account management. This primarily means that you build and maintain relationships;
As a procurement advisor, you work at a tactical and strategic level for internal customers. You execute European tenders and procurement processes where the internal complexity and challenges are diverse. The projects have a direct and indirect impact on patient care and/or the business operations of the relevant department and/or on the entire Radboudumc;
You contribute to the availability and affordability of Dutch healthcare;
You support or are responsible for drafting account plans and determining procurement strategies;
You get to know the markets in which you are active and stay informed about what is happening and what the developments and trends are.

Profile

Due to retirement, we are looking for a successor. We offer an induction and handover period of several months, so that knowledge and activities can be carefully transferred. For this, we are looking for an energetic and social colleague. You are critical, service-oriented, and always focused on possibilities and collaboration. You are someone who brings people and wishes together, both in our own team and in the collaboration within the hospital.

Further importance

You realize that Procurement is a link in the chain from need to payment and aftercare, and you are able to maintain an overview of the entire chain. You think in broad strokes, but you are pragmatic enough to switch to customized solutions;

Do you not meet all the requested criteria? Even then, we cordially invite you to respond!

Good to know

We will schedule interviews in consultation. If applicable, please indicate your availability in your motivation letter.
A Certificate of Conduct (VOG) is required for this position.

We are recruiting for this vacancy ourselves. We do not appreciate acquisition; however, sharing within your network is welcome.

About Radboudumc

Industry: Healthcare

In their own words

About the company & team

Radboudumc is an organization subject to procurement regulations. The Procurement department is a service-oriented and advisory part of Radboudumc. Together with the Supply Chain department, the Procurement department is responsible for the efficient and effective involvement and provision of goods, services, and solutions from suppliers and other external parties. It is our ambition to make external knowledge, services, or products available to the hospital and its departments under the most favorable conditions. Sometimes this means a new innovation; other times we focus on the total cost of a product, process, or service.

This concerns the entirety of goods and services required for the execution of the care process, the research and training function, as well as all other facilitating processes. Radboudumc is a dynamic (healthcare) environment with increasing procurement issues and growing attention to the affordability of care. If you think you can make a valuable contribution and you fit what we are looking for, we would love to receive your response!
The procurement team consists of 33 colleagues, is diverse, and loves challenges. We learn daily, by working together and sometimes making mistakes. We work hard, but also pay attention to the social aspect and to each other. In addition, there is attention to content and professional development and a good work-life balance.
Our colleagues about the team and the work within Radboudumc:

Arjen: "I describe working as a procurement advisor at Radboudumc in one word: 'Cool!' It is working for an organization that is world-class in its field and collaborating with professional and fun colleagues who are passionate about contributing to the best possible patient care. From procuring medical equipment to procuring complete dental treatment units and stents for the Cardiology department, it all happens in this role. As a procurement advisor at Radboudumc, you truly get the chance to make an impact on our healthcare and on social themes such as sustainability. Besides being a procurement advisor, I am also an MVI (Sustainable Procurement) ambassador. A wonderful opportunity to help shape the acceleration towards sustainable procurement!"

Femke: "What I find most beautiful about my work as a procurement advisor is the dynamism. Every day you work together with different departments and healthcare professionals who all bring their own expertise and ideas. From medical technologies to innovative care solutions, every assignment is a new challenge, where we seek a good balance between achieving the best price and the best quality, but where we certainly also weigh the broader social impact. Being able to do this together with a team of professional and sociable colleagues makes the work truly fun!"
