1. Purpose of the Role
AFF Recruitment & Executive Search is looking for a Tactical Buyer on behalf of Chrysal International BV. Chrysal is the global market leader in flower care and develops solutions that demonstrably keep flowers fresh for longer throughout the entire supply chain. Driven by strong growth ambitions, Chrysal continuously invests in innovation, quality and further professionalisation. The organisation is developing rapidly and is further building a more professional, structured procurement department with greater tactical and strategic impact.

In this role, you will have the opportunity to take procurement beyond operational execution and price negotiation.

You will work in an international context with suppliers and colleagues from areas including operations, planning, quality, product management, R&D and finance.

The department is in a phase of further professionalisation. You will work closely with other procurement colleagues, with a strong focus on improving structure, methodology and effectiveness within procurement. For this position, we are therefore looking for a mid-level to senior professional who is methodical, brings structure and overview, and is also willing to take on operational work where needed in a dynamic environment.

2. Key Results
  • Responsible for tactical procurement within a product-related portfolio, with a focus on continuity, supplier performance and cost control.
  • Setting up and executing professional sourcing and RFP processes in a methodical way, based on clear business requirements.
  • Further developing supplier management, including selection, evaluation, contractual agreements and performance management, with attention to reliability, innovation and sustainability.
  • Working closely with internal stakeholders to identify business needs and translate them into concrete procurement actions and measurable specifications.
  • Contributing to the further professionalisation of procurement, including by setting up a procurement calendar and improving pricing and contract methodologies.
  • Supporting an international supply chain by identifying opportunities and risks in supplier markets, the supply chain and product availability in a timely manner.
  • Using data and analysis to support well-founded decision-making, including through ERP data and Power BI.

3. Knowledge Requirements and Competency Profile
  • You have a bachelor’s level of working and thinking.
  • You have at least 5 to 8 years of relevant procurement experience, preferably within an international manufacturing, supply chain or industrial environment.
  • You have experience in tactical procurement and know how to combine operational, tactical and light strategic activities effectively.
  • You are methodical and able to work in a structured way within sourcing and supplier management processes.
  • Experience with vendor management, stakeholder management and defining clear requirements is important.
  • Knowledge of ERP systems and a data-driven way of working is preferred. Experience with Power BI is a clear advantage.
  • You have strong written and spoken Dutch skills at C1 level, as well as strong English skills.
  • You are a team player with strong analytical skills, a proactive mindset, attention to detail and excellent communication skills.
