About the role
You will be part of Gofore’s ICT Procurement Consulting team, which provides hands-on procurement consulting services for the public sector as well as private sector clients. Our primary market consists of ICT procurements within public administration and large organizations, where success requires both a strong command of public procurement legislation and the ability to drive complex procurements to completion.
At the core of your role is hands-on procurement work, including:
-
Drafting invitations to tender and defining requirements
-
Conducting market dialogues and negotiations
-
Managing and executing procurement procedures
-
Supporting contract negotiations together with our contract lawyers
Procurement projects rarely start with fully defined requirements. Therefore, we value the ability to structure unclear situations, help clients clarify their true needs, and drive procurements forward in a determined and goal-oriented manner.
We are primarily looking for a senior-level procurement consultant with experience in responsible roles within ICT procurements. A strong mid-level professional may also be a good fit, provided their capabilities and growth potential support development into a senior role.
What we offer
Comprehensive well-being and smooth everyday life are at the core of Gofore. Our goal is to be a work community where working is inspiring, rewarding, and enhances your professional skills. Our customer satisfaction is high, our NPS being 62 (2025), and our reputation for providing high-quality services to our customers is solely thanks to our top experts. Gofore employees receive particularly good feedback for their customer-oriented attitude. Our employee satisfaction is based on a skilled community and collaboration.
We are proud of our transparent culture, pioneering spirit, and the fact that we have a greater purpose than just generating profit – striving for a more humane, sustainable, and ethical digital world and working life. With us, you will become part of a community where you are close to other experts in your field and at the same time work closely with other top experts on customer projects. We are organized in a customer-oriented manner, which allows visibility towards individual and team successes and professional development, for example, within a specific industry.
The community spirit of Gofore employees also extends outside of work through various activities such as small event workshops, board games, and family days. To ensure optimal balance, we offer flexible working conditions and tools that you can choose from according to your needs. In addition, we have comprehensive benefits. Gofore has its own collective agreement that reflects our employees. You can familiarize yourself with it here.
What we offer procurement consultants in particular:
-
Support and sparring from colleagues in demanding procurement projects
-
Access to Gofore’s subject-matter consultants (e.g. finance, HR, core IT, information systems) to support your success
-
The opportunity to focus on what truly matters: delivering high-quality procurement work
What we expect from you
We are not looking for a perfect superhero, but we do expect a strong professional mindset and solid experience.
To succeed in this role, you will need
-
Several years of experience in public sector ICT procurements, either as a contracting entity or representing one
-
Practical understanding of the application of public procurement legislation
-
Experience in significant ICT procurements where you have played a key role
-
The ability to independently manage a procurement project from start to finish and lead the procurement team
-
Willingness to produce the materials required in procurement projects (you don’t have to do everything alone, but ownership is essential)
-
A basic understanding of ICT contract law
-
Customer-oriented mindset and readiness to adapt to the needs of customer projects, including where and how you work
You will gain extra points if you
-
Have experience with ICT procurements in the private sector
-
Have worked as a project manager in IT projects
-
Are able to view matters also from the perspective of ICT vendors
-
Are familiar with the domains of financial management, human resources management, or core IT
-
Hold a higher education degree
Your way of working is
-
Proactive and hands-on
-
Assertive and convincing in customer-facing situations
-
Systematic and organized
-
Clear in communication and able to build trust
-
A team player who knows how to ask for and offer help
Experience solely in a sales role for an ICT vendor in public procurements is not sufficient for this position. While we value an understanding of the supplier market, this role operates on the contracting entity’s side of the procurement.
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 feedback that you receive, your utilisation rate (we are consultants, after all!) and your own professional development are central in the salary discussions with your People Leader (i.e. supervisor).
As a procurement consultant, your base monthly salary will range from €4,000 to €6,500, depending on your experience and expertise. In addition, we offer:
-
A monthly personal bonus based on billable work
-
Additional bonuses linked to company success (e.g. recruitment, sales, visibility)
