  • Build trustful relationships with technical teams, business stakeholders and acting as Business Partner to drive the Global Procurement Transformation agenda in Allianz as well as to facilitate activities towards relevant hierarchical levels on the part of the suppliers
  • Implement standards and optimize processes in the area of IT software licenses
  • Manage and guide operational activities along the value chain of the procurement process (such as the use of the procurement toolkit, operational procurement delivery, catalogue management, contract management), and leverage collaboration tools in the M365 environment
  • Participate in the execution and preparation of market studies, benchmarks and analyzes as well as having a strong target orientation and self-initiative with the ability to coordinate complex issues
What you bring
  • Completed studies in business economics or business/ IT engineering or equivalent
  • Minimum of 5 years of professional experience in global strategic procurement with strong focus in Infrastructure and Mainframe software. Experience in direct negotiation with major vendors (Microsoft, Google, AWS, Oracle, IBM, Broadcom, SAP, Adobe, etc.) and contracting preferred
  • Deep knowledge of contract law for software and licenses (software license, software maintenance, etc.); knowledge of different negotiation methods and experiences in the independent conduct of negotiations including project management
  • Fluent in English - German and other language skills are an advantage
  • Safe handling of MS-Office and SAP Ariba
  • Strong communication skills in combination with customer centricity as well as having number affinity and analytical skills
  • Team player mentality with a high commitment, who takes ownership of his subjects and tasks with high level of self-initiative, commitment and the ability to work independently
  • Basic knowledge of AI technologies, principles, and their practical use.
What we offer
  • We offer a hybrid work model which recognizes the value of striking a balance between in-person collaboration and remote working incl. up to 25 days per year working from abroad.
  • We believe in rewarding performance and our compensation and benefits package includes a company bonus scheme, pension, employee shares program and multiple employee discounts (details vary by location).
  • From career development and digital learning programs to international career mobility, we offer lifelong learning for our employees worldwide and an environment where innovation, delivery and empowerment are fostered.
  • Flexible working, health and wellbeing offers (including healthcare and parental leave benefits) support to balance family and career and help our people return from career breaks with experience that nothing else can teach.
