As a procurement consultant, you are responsible for the end-to-end management of our clients’ ICT procurement projects.
Our customer projects range from strategic planning of procurements to finalizing contracts and also include consulting related to other aspects of ICT procurements and contracts. Customers we have supported in procurement include for example the cities of Helsinki, Vantaa and Tampere, Kempower, Valio and Fintraffic.
Our customer projects typically include strategic planning of procurement, preliminary investigation, market research, planning and carrying out competitive tendering, and carrying out contract negotiations. Our procurement consultants also support our customers in other aspects such as developing the procurement function, contract management and vendor management.
Customer projects are often implemented by several of our consultants. You don’t have to be an expert in all of the above-mentioned steps of the procurement project, as long as you identify entities within the steps that you have extensive expertise in.

Salary development
For us it is important that Goforeans receive reasonable total compensation for their work. The compensation is the outcome of, not only experience and skills, but also active work for our two values: being a good workplace for everyone and considering customer perspective in everything we do.

The typical salary range for this role is between €4,000 and €7,000 per month, in addition to a bonus based on your monthly billing rate. We can define the appropriate level together as our discussions progress and we learn more about your skills.
