Job description
The role
We need a hands-on CapEx procurement expert, not a generalist. You'll lead strategic sourcing for capital investments across HelloFresh's European production sites: machinery, automated lines, Material Handling Equipment (MHE), and facility build-outs. You'll be embedded with Engineering and Operations from spec to handover, owning multi-million euro decisions. This role reports to the Director Indirect Procurement.
We are looking for an ambitious, confident, entrepreneurial, and high-spirited Procurement professional with a strength for data processing, optimisation & reporting, ability to navigate ambiguity, attention to detail and great stakeholder management ability.
What you’ll do
- Own end-to-end CapEx sourcing: supplier market mapping, RFx execution, negotiation, and contract award for high-value capital projects
- Develop a multi-year CapEx category strategy covering production machinery, conveyors & MHE, cold storage, and building fit-outs
- Lead Total Cost of Ownership modelling and investment scenario analysis with Engineering and Finance
- Drive Early Supplier Involvement (ESI) to influence specs and design-to-cost outcomes before projects are locked
- Build and manage the supplier portfolio across Hello Fresh’s markets: qualification, performance tracking, and continuous improvement
- Partner with Project Management and Site Operations from inception through commissioning — not just at the buying stage
- Monitor equipment markets, supplier landscape, and technology trends relevant to food production and logistics
- Support broader Procurement Ops team, if necessary, in MRO, Facilities Management, Utilities, etc. projects.
What you’ll bring
- 6+ years in procurement, with at least 3–4 years of dedicated CapEx category ownership
- Proven track record sourcing capital equipment: production machinery, automated systems, conveyors/MHE, or equivalent industrial CapEx
- Engineering degree or equivalent technical background strongly preferred: you need to speak your stakeholders' language
- Experience managing large-scale sourcing across multiple European markets
- Fluent in English; German and/or French is a meaningful advantage
- Strong TCO and financial modelling skills; able to build business cases alongside Engineering and Finance
- Able travel to production sites across Europe if necessary.
What we offer
Elevate your lifestyle! Join one of Europe's fastest-growing tech powerhouses in a dynamic phase of expansion.
- Initially we offer 2 years contract.
- Immerse yourself in a diverse global community of 90+ nationalities.
- Enjoy a competitive compensation package that goes beyond the norm, with perks like a HelloFresh- subsidized Pension Scheme, Berlin relocation support, and a Hybrid working model.
- Elevate your lifestyle with exclusive discounts on your weekly HelloFresh box and office meals.
- Invest in your growth with an annual learning & development budget, German language learning budget, and access to the HelloFresh Academy.
