Ignitis Group is establishing a new, unified Group Supply Chain & Procurement function – and we are looking for the leader to build it. This is a rare opportunity to architect a group-wide operating model from the ground up – building a function that spans the full procurement and supply chain agenda across our international portfolio.

You will report at group level and work closely with business units, shared services, and group functions. Your mandate: lead a differentiated supply-chain model – a centralised public procurement function operating alongside a commercial procurement model with clear rules, data visibility, and group-wide reporting – enabling cost efficiency, supply resilience, ESG compliance, and regulatory integrity at scale.

You will contribute to green and secure energy ecosystem creation by:

• Strategy and policy ownership. Defining and driving the group-wide supply chain and procurement strategy, policies, and standards – with full accountability for implementation across all business units, covering both public procurement obligations and commercial procurement.
• Function architecture and operating model leadership. Building end-to-end operating model design at the Group level incorporating two distinct models: a fully centralised public procurement centre of excellence, and a commercial procurement model where strategy, standards, and reporting are set centrally while business units retain operational flexibility. Establishing clear decision rights, spend visibility, and consistent methodology across both.
• Strategic sourcing. Leading category strategy development across key spend areas – defining sourcing approaches, consolidating demand, and driving best value through structured market engagement, competitive processes, and long-term contracting models.
• Strategic partnership development and management. Building and governing the group strategic supplier ecosystem – segmenting suppliers by importance and risk, managing top-tier supplier relationships as business-critical partnerships, and driving consistent performance, ESG, and compliance standards across the supply base.
• Group-wide contract management. Owning the group-wide contract management process – establishing governance. Building a coherent group-level framework while navigating varying practices and systems across business units.
• Risk management. Managing group supplier ecosystem and supply chain risks – spanning geopolitical exposure, cybersecurity, ESG obligations, sanctions compliance, and health & safety – to maintain supply continuity under any conditions.
• ESG and regulatory compliance. Embedding ESG requirements – including CSRD and CSDDD obligations – into procurement at every stage: requirement definition, tender design, supplier selection, and contract monitoring. Ensuring sanctions screening protocols are consistently applied across the group.
• Digitalisation & analytics. Leading the development of the group's central procurement IT system and leveraging analytics and automation to improve spend visibility, process transparency, and transformation outcomes.
• External representation. Representing Ignitis Group with public authorities, regulators, and industry bodies – protecting group interests and maintaining its standing as a responsible market participant.

• The unique opportunity to design and lead a newly established group function with real mandate and senior-level sponsorship.
• A role at the heart of one of the largest international energy groups in the Baltic-Nordic region at a pivotal moment in the energy transition.
• High degree of autonomy and direct access to C-level and Board stakeholders.
• Mentorship-based culture designed to facilitate meaningful, purpose-driven work.
