• You have at least 5 years of professional experience in supplier support or vendor management, ideally in the telecommunications or fiber optic sector. 
• You have a proven and robust supplier network in NE3 and NE4 (planning and construction companies, subcontractors) and know how to strategically develop this network.
• You have practical experience in dealing with construction companies facing insolvency and their subcontractors – from risk analysis, contract and performance adjustments, to exit and replacement scenarios.
• You possess strong negotiation skills and excellent communication abilities – both with internal stakeholders (e.g., Deployment, Project Management, Procurement, Legal) and external partners.
• You bring strong analytical, conceptual, and organizational skills and work in a structured and decision-oriented manner.
• You have experience and very good knowledge in the field of FttH expansion (passive and active network components).
• You are a responsible team player with a start-up mindset: proactive, service-oriented, independent, and curious about new things in a rapidly growing market.
