Working closely with Operations, Procurement, Finance, Legal, Asset Management, and external suppliers, you will help create commercial value, support efficient operations, and contribute to continuous improvement across the assets.

• Partner with Site Management on commercial, contractual, and financial matters.
• Provide commercial analysis and recommendations to support operational and strategic decisions.

• Maintain strong relationships with suppliers and key internal stakeholders.

Continuous Improvement

• Promote best practices and share lessons learned across assets and functions.

Qualifications

Who are you?

You are a commercially driven professional with experience in contract and supplier management within a complex operational environment. You combine strong analytical skills with a pragmatic mindset and are comfortable working with both commercial details and broader business objectives.

You build strong relationships, communicate confidently with stakeholders at all levels, and take ownership of delivering results. Structured and proactive by nature, you thrive in a dynamic environment where priorities can shift and no two days are the same.

Next to this you bring:
