Job Description

As a Manager – heading the teams of Project Managers (6 FTE) and Process Managers (3FTE) you have a defining role in achieving the strategic objectives of Procurement & Vendor Management (PVM). 

 

Procurement & Vendor Management (PVM) 

PVM - a global unit within Rabobank consisting of approximately 110 FTEs - is the process owner of procurement and vendor management processes and contributes to a strong cooperative bank by procuring goods and services at the optimal mix of low costs, low supplier risk, and maximum value for Rabobank. PVM's activities can be divided into five underlying processes: Strategic category management, Sourcing & contracting, Supply risk management, Supplier and contract life cycle management, and Requisition-to-Pay. Recently, PVM has been asked to expand its service portfolio with three additional services: "Intragroup Arrangements" (internal deliveries between Rabobank entities) and "Non Supplier Business Partners" (relationships of the bank to whom we pay money, but who are not suppliers) and the Report Ownership of the DORA register of information.  

 

Global Services (GS) is one of the three departments of PVM and responsible for Processes, Systems, Data Management, Reporting and Project Management. With the extension of the mandate, PVM decided to set up a centralised Process Management team within Global Services and to strengthen the Project Management capabilities.
