DLG Group is on an ambitious transformation journey to unify and modernize our operating model following years of growth through acquisitions. As part of our new COO-led organization, we are establishing a dedicated Indirect Procurement function to elevate performance across all categories of indirect spend – from IT and professional services to facilities, fleet, travel and beyond.

We are now seeking a senior procurement leader to take full responsibility for Indirect Procurement across the DLG Group – building a modern, strategic and value-driven function that operates group-wide and delivers impact at scale.

Location: Fredericia (DK) or Flensburg (DE), with flexibility for remote work part of the time.

As Head of Indirect Procurement, you will:

• Establish and lead the Group’s Indirect Procurement function, driving performance across all categories and geographies
• Develop and implement a group-wide procurement strategy with clear targets for value creation, efficiency and compliance
• Partner with senior leaders across business groups and corporate functions to align needs, unlock savings and manage supplier risk
• Introduce new ways of working, including category management, sourcing processes, contract lifecycle management and supplier governance
• Build and lead a high-performing team with clear roles, development plans and accountability
• Support digitalization and transparency, leveraging tools and data to enable better decision-making and cost control
• Shape procurement policy and governance, ensuring compliance and alignment with DLG’s commercial, legal and sustainability priorities
  
  
  

This role reports directly to the Chief Operating Officer (COO) and will play a central role in the execution of DLG’s transformation.

What You Bring

• Experience designing and leading procurement transformation initiatives
• Strong stakeholder management and collaboration skills
• A structured, data-driven mindset and familiarity with modern procurement tools and systems
