<h2><strong>The role</strong></h2>
<p>We need a hands-on CapEx procurement expert, not a generalist. You'll lead strategic sourcing for capital investments across HelloFresh's European production sites: machinery, automated lines, Material Handling Equipment (MHE), and facility build-outs. You'll be embedded with Engineering and Operations from spec to handover, owning multi-million euro decisions. This role reports to the Director Indirect Procurement. </p>
<p>We are looking for an ambitious, confident, entrepreneurial, and high-spirited Procurement professional with a strength for data processing, optimisation & reporting, ability to navigate ambiguity, attention to detail and great stakeholder management ability.</p>

<ul>
<li>Own end-to-end CapEx sourcing: supplier market mapping, RFx execution, negotiation, and contract award for high-value capital projects</li>
