Indirect Procurement Business Partner

At Syngenta, our goal is to build the most collaborative and trustworthy team in agriculture, providing top-quality seeds and innovative crop protection solutions that improve farmers' success. To support this mission, Syngenta's Indirect Procurement team is seeking an Indirect Procurement Business Partner in Madrid, Spain. 

What you'll be doing

You will be the single point of contact for indirect procurement across Spain and Portugal - covering two business units (Crop Protection and Seeds), our production and R&D sites, and a corporate offices. This is a role where strategy and execution sit in the same chair.

On any given week, you might be negotiating a health insurance renewal with the HR Director, running a sourcing event for a new R&D facility, reviewing the Ariba savings pipeline with your manager, or helping a plant director navigate a capex project. The categories are broad - professional services, marketing, HR services, facilities, IT, travel, and capex - and the stakeholders are senior. No two weeks look the same.

More specifically, you will:

• Translate regional and global category strategies into local execution for Spain and Portugal, ensuring savings commitments are met without compromising quality or timelines.
• Serve as the primary procurement partner for country and site leadership teams - building relationships, educating stakeholders on procurement processes, and staying close to local business priorities.
• Design and run tailored sourcing solutions when business needs fall outside existing frameworks: from supplier selection and RFx processes to contract negotiation and ongoing supplier management.
• Own and maintain the Ariba savings pipeline accurately, driving delivery against agreed targets and ensuring full compliance with procurement policies.
• Represent and promote the value of the Indirect Procurement function within the country - making the case for early involvement in business decisions and demonstrating tangible impact.
