As our new Division Lead Purchasing Manager, Commercial Building Service, you'll be defining and driving divisional purchasing priorities and leading high-impact initiatives such as cost optimization, supply chain de-risking, and localization strategies that strengthen Grundfos's global competitiveness.

Your main responsibilities include:

• Define the roadmap of divisional projects involving Group Purchasing, including cost-out, de-risking, localization, supplier lead time reduction, and make/buy feasibility assessments
• Project manage prioritized initiatives end-to-end — planning, coordinating, and tracking progress across Group Purchasing and divisional teams such as Commercial Building Services
