Procurement Leadership

Temporary executive ownership when procurement needs to become effective quickly.

Depending on the situation, ADDRED assumes the role of Interim Chief Procurement Officer, Interim Procurement Director or temporary procurement lead.

Typical situation

Leadership gaps must not block operational and commercial performance.

Vacancies, growth, reorganisations, carve-outs and unstable structures often require more than advisory support. They require clear accountability, prioritisation and leadership across daily operations and transformation.

  • Vacancy in procurement leadership
  • Build-up of a new procurement function
  • Stabilisation of an overloaded or fragmented organisation
  • Integration, carve-out or shared-service transition
  • Preparation and handover to permanent internal leadership

Responsibility

Assume leadership, establish stability and secure the handover.

ADDRED leads teams, prioritises actions, establishes governance and management reporting, and connects operational continuity with strategic development.

Executive Leadership

Temporary line or programme responsibility with clear decision and escalation structures.

Organisation and Governance

Clarify roles, accountabilities, performance management and collaboration with management and business stakeholders.

Sustainable Handover

Build internal capability and transfer responsibility to permanent leadership on a reliable basis.

Outcome

A capable procurement and purchasing organisation.

The objective is a stable function with clear leadership, transparent priorities, effective governance and a sustainable handover — not prolonged external dependency.
