The posting

Your mission

To strengthen our team, we are looking for a commercial and structured Procurement Manager to take our purchasing and logistics to the next level. As Procurement Manager, you are the linchpin in the organization responsible for overseeing, streamlining, and optimizing all purchasing flows around our live experiences and corporate events across OVAL (BENE, France, and DACH), managing supplier management at a European level where possible.

In this role, you are responsible for the procurement strategy, supplier relationship management, and the sustainable deployment of our materials. The designated project lead from the Account Team remains responsible for client alignment, scope, timing, quality, budget, and project result; you support the project lead with the best purchasing conditions, the right preferred suppliers, and optimal use of our own storage. You not only have an eye for margins and financial optimization, but also strictly safeguard our quality and sustainability goals. Thanks to your insight and structure, our production teams can rely on dependable partners and circular materials while keeping costs strictly within budget.

Your Responsibilities

  • You report directly to the COO (positioned within S.BO) and work closely with regional Production Leads, project teams, and the Traffic Manager. The Traffic Manager coordinates capacity needs and allocation across OVAL, while Procurement supports supplier selection, rates, and contract terms to avoid overlap between both functions.
  • You professionalize procurement by setting up and managing preferred supplier contracts (such as AV, set building, locations, and catering).
  • You negotiate sharply to contribute to the Gross Margin and control of external project costs (within agreed budgets), without making concessions on the high quality expected by our corporate clients.
  • You are the guardian of sustainability: you integrate circular options into the procurement process and proactively drive reuse and eco-friendly materials.
  • You oversee central visibility into our storage/inventory and material reuse, with local support for physical execution, ensuring optimal utilization of materials.
  • You structurally evaluate supplier performance and guarantee reliability to minimize delivery risks during tight event productions.
  • You identify and implement common ordering and purchasing processes across OVAL (in collaboration with Finance and ONE TeamLeader), including reliable supplier data, consistent recording of purchasing agreements, and visibility into realized savings and other benefits to highlight the financial contribution of this role.

Your profile

  • You have several years of experience in a similar project procurement or supplier management role, preferably in the events, creative, or agency sector.
  • You possess excellent negotiation skills and are a strong relationship builder for both internal stakeholders and external suppliers.
  • You have affinity with and knowledge of sustainability and circular processes within project management.
  • You are business savvy. You maintain a financial focus when entering into external collaborations and seek the best balance of quality, cost, and ROI.
  • You are stress-resistant and maintain oversight and calmness, even when live event deadlines approach.
  • You have a proactive and solution-oriented attitude. You spot opportunities and seize them.

Why OVAL?

  • We offer you a key role within a dynamic and creative organization.
  • Awesome brands as clients to work for.
  • A culture built on entrepreneurship, connection, and empathy.
  • A competitive salary, matching your experience and the medior seniority of the role.
  • The freedom to innovate, develop yourself, and leave your mark on our procurement and sustainability policies.
  • The absolute funnest team of colleagues who share a passion for live events.

Are you ready to bring structure, sustainability, and optimal returns to our procurement processes? Then we look forward to receiving your application!

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
