Manager of Indirect Procurement

Nobia Denmark is the leading kitchen company in Denmark and a core part of Nobia AB, one of Europe's largest kitchen specialists, listed on Nasdaq Stockholm. As we continue to grow and strengthen our operational setup, we are establishing a dedicated Indirect Procurement function for the first time.

This is a rare chance to shape a function from day one. As our first Indirect Procurement Manager, you will take full ownership of our indirect spending, from mapping suppliers to negotiating agreements and building governance that supports a scaling business. You will report directly to the CFO and work as a trusted commercial partner for the organisation.

Scope of the Role
Indirect procurement covers all non-direct material spend and operates in close collaboration with the central Nobia Group procurement team. Your primary categories include but are not limited to:

• Marketing & Agencies: creative partners, media buying and events

• Professional Services: consultants, legal counsel, auditors

• Logistics & Transport: freight, warehousing, last‑mile delivery (non-direct)

• Travel & Meetings: corporate travel programmes, hotel agreements, meeting venues

• HR & Learning: recruitment partners, learning platforms, external trainers

Key Responsibilities

In this role, you will shape how indirect procurement works across the business. You will build the framework, set the standards, and ensure we have the right processes in place as we grow. A big part of your work will be leading sourcing activities and negotiations, securing agreements that balance commercial value and long‑term partnerships. You will also be the go‑to partner for teams across Finance, TED, Marketing, People & Culture, and Operations, helping them translate their needs into clear sourcing strategies.

To support decision‑making, you will create transparency around spend, supplier performance, and savings, and you will keep the CFO closely informed as the function matures.

Your main responsibilities include:

• Designing and implementing the indirect procurement framework and governance

• Leading sourcing processes, negotiations, and contract management across categories

• Partnering with internal stakeholders and aligning with Nobia Group where relevant

• Building spends visibility and reports on savings, risks, and supplier performance
  

What We Are Looking For

An experienced profile within indirect procurement or strategic sourcing, ideally from a commercial or consumer‑focused environment. Relevant academic background is preferred, but practical experience is equally valued. You know how to navigate complex negotiations, work with many stakeholders, and create clarity in a matrix organisation. Experience across several of our key categories is valuable, and deeper knowledge in a couple of them is a plus.

• Proven track record in indirect procurement or strategic sourcing with solid negotiation results

• Ability to collaborate across functions and seniority levels

• Strong commercial mindset and the ability to see value beyond price

• Clear communicator who builds trust with both operational teams and senior leadership

• Comfortable shaping new processes and bringing structure without unnecessary complexity

• Analytical and data‑driven, able to turn insights into clear recommendations

• Fluent in both Danish and English, both written and spoken

What We Offer

• A high-impact, high-autonomy role where you define the function and leave a lasting footprint

• The mandate to negotiate, structure, and implement

• You will work in close partnership with the CFO and collaborate directly with the leadership team, giving you strong sponsorship and a seat at the table where decisions are made.

• A place in an ambitious finance and commercial organisation undergoing active transformation

• Competitive compensation aligned with seniority and scope

• Headquarters in Aarhus, with flexibility for occasional travel to Group locations and key suppliers
