Negotiations Analyst (m/f/d)

Düsseldorf · Full-time

We are ProcuVia, a procurement consultancy that helps companies achieve sustainable improvements in commercial terms. Our negotiation support develops modern, game-theory-based negotiation approaches for our clients in order to achieve the best commercial results – from classic face-to-face negotiations to complex auction processes, we cover it all.

To strengthen our team, we are looking for analytically strong personalities who think economically, understand strategic interdependencies, and want to methodically prepare and then conduct negotiations.

Our vision is to redefine procurement consulting: procurement should become a strategic value driver – just as important as sales, engineering, and production. The foundation of our work is built on values such as fairness, respect, and transparency, as well as a partnership-based consulting style at eye level with clients and suppliers.
