How you make a difference

The Concern Procurement department at VGZ focuses on procuring goods and services for our organization. Within this department, procurement professionals conduct thorough market analyses, scans, and stay alert to various opportunities that arise. They translate all of this into value for VGZ. This way, we prevent unnecessary costs and contribute directly to affordable healthcare for everyone.

As a Department Manager Procurement, you are responsible for developing and achieving the objectives for your department. You understand the market and know exactly what's happening within VGZ. Therefore, you can make informed assessments and decisions about implementing the necessary (strategic) improvements. Contributing to the realization of organizational goals is your guiding principle.

You have a clear vision and passion for procurement. That's why you make clear analyses and concrete plans. You also explore, for example, the opportunities of Artificial Intelligence to improve the quality and efficiency of the work.

With your leadership experience, you emphasize inspiring, facilitating, and coaching employees.

Being in control

As a healthcare insurer, VGZ is supervised by various regulators such as the Dutch Healthcare Authority and the Dutch Central Bank (DNB). Therefore, we must always demonstrate that the services provided and agreements comply with laws and regulations. We, therefore, monitor, in collaboration with the contract owner, the performance of suppliers. As a department manager, you ensure that we know the agreements made and that they are upheld. With this proactive approach, we can identify risks and find suitable solutions. This way, we maintain a professional relationship with suppliers and demonstrably stay in control.
