København, Denmark Falck Danmark AS Full time
Category Manager – Indirect, Global Procurement

About Falck
Falck is an international leader in healthcare and emergency response, operating in 26 countries with +25,000 employees and ~12 billion DKK in revenue. Our purpose is to advance sustainable healthcare to meet people’s changing needs. We do this by combining our skills, experience, and innovation to help people when and where they need us.

Our Care for More '27 strategy aims to realize the full potential of the position Falck has established over the past years, as we have strengthened our value proposition as a multinational healthcare company through both organic growth and acquisitions.

Global Procurement in Falck
To unlock Falck’s full potential and execute our Care for More ’27 strategy, we are investing significantly in transforming Global Procurement into a strategic business partner taking full ownership of our global spend of +3 billion DKK across +13,000 suppliers. With this investment, we will ensure that we fully leverage our supply chain globally by driving impact through execution of sourcing strategies, implementation of sustainable sourcing practices, and incorporating excellence into processes and systems.

About the job
As a Category Manager for indirect spend, you will have a unique opportunity to be responsible for leveraging volumes and implementing best practices across our indirect spend categories, including facility management, utilities, consumables and more. The role is ideal for a candidate who wishes to grow themselves while also growing the role itself.

Currently, the management of the indirect categories is decentralized across business units and countries, and this role presents a great development opportunity for a candidate to take Falck's indirect procurement to the next level. This also means that initially, you will take hands-on ownership in identifying and executing optimization projects while developing the medium- and long-term sourcing strategy. This includes how to structure and organize indirect procurement going forward and build the right sourcing set-up and operating model for indirect procurement across Falck.

Key priorities are:

  • Lead the execution of key strategic sourcing projects while ensuring full stakeholder alignment – either directly or indirectly through project management resources.
  • Establish transparency across the indirect spend area in terms of spend, suppliers, contracts, and stakeholder landscape.
  • Develop category strategies to ensure full alignment with the business and transparency of priorities and key projects.
  • Build and maintain tactical and strategic key supplier relations in close collaboration with the business.
  • Ensure a strong focus on Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) related matters and drive sustainability throughout our indirect supply chain.

The position is newly established and is a great opportunity to be a key part of a global procurement transformation and a strategic priority in Falck. You will have significant impact on the transformation and work with stakeholders across the organization.

About you

  • A completed Master’s degree e.g., supply chain, project management, business administration, economics etc.
  • 5 years’ experience working with procurement and/or supply chain in international organizations or consultancy.
  • Experience within indirect sourcing, facility management and project management.
  • “Can do”-attitude with an execution mindset and profound analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • A strong communicator with the ability to create buy-in and indirectly lead cross-functional teams.
  • Highly motivated by and capable of running multiple projects simultaneously.

You have professional proficiency in English. Danish is useful, but not required.

About us
At Falck, we turn care into action. We believe our actions speak louder than words and that how we act defines us. Hence, our culture is founded on our winning behaviours of caring, building trust and creating value, together.

As a member of Falck Global Procurement, you will not only work to deliver on our ambitious targets, but also join a collaborative team that cares for each other and takes pride in the work we do. We are 17 procurement professionals from 10 different countries – all sharing the goal of making a difference and delivering value to our partners across the business. Our work environment strikes a balance between being professional and informal, where we execute strategic projects anchored with senior management while having fun and developing our professional capabilities.

Together, we shape and define Falck's path towards sustainable, best-in-class procurement.
