Our Procurement & Supply Chain team consists of 28 enthusiastic colleagues. We work on a project basis, with assignments ranging from 6 weeks to 9 months. Our week consists of home working days, client days, and office days, with Friday as a fixed team day. Together with your colleagues, you work for a wide variety of clients. You help clients optimize their procurement and supply chain organizations, from strategy to implementation. You leverage your strengths and help others bring out the best in themselves. You ensure that junior colleagues have the necessary tools to develop and manage senior stakeholders by involving them in decision-making and facilitating their growth. Our goal is to enable our clients to optimize the value of their supplier network and mitigate supply risks.

As a manager, your assignment may include one of the following themes:

• Conducting cost-saving analyses for manufacturing companies.
• Designing and/or executing transformations of procurement and supply chain organizations.
• Developing and implementing decarbonization strategies.
• Implementing advanced procurement and supply chain tools.
• Setting up contract management organizations.

As a manager, you have a responsible role within a project, working with colleagues from our team or other teams within KPMG. You are the central point of contact for all stakeholders. You work with expert colleagues and have access to the latest insights and models. You are intellectually challenged at a strategic level but also asked to work practically and project-based with the client and your team. Within each assignment, you have the space and responsibility to make a difference for the client. There is room for entrepreneurship in and outside projects, allowing everyone to make their workweek as enjoyable as possible. As a manager, you are expected to take on one of the side tasks that contribute to, for example, proposition development, knowledge sharing, quality, marketing, or HR.
