Job Description
Procurement Category Manager – Datacenters & Infrastructure Projects (Copenhagen)
Would you like to work at the intersection of large-scale infrastructure projects, smart sourcing, and digital progress? Here’s your opportunity to shape how GlobalConnect builds and operates datacenters across the Nordics.

GlobalConnect is expanding its datacenter footprint across the region, and we’re looking for a Procurement Category Manager to help us do it wisely. This role sits within our Technology Procurement team and is central to how we source and negotiate for datacenter equipment, services, and infrastructure.

Based in our Copenhagen office, this is a pan-Nordic role where you’ll work closely with the Head of Datacenters and collaborate across teams in procurement, operations, and infrastructure. Some days you’ll be working on complex tenders or building category strategies. Others, you’ll be on-site at one of our datacenters, talking directly with teams to understand their needs. When the datacenter focus allows, you may also support larger infrastructure projects.

It’s a role with real variety—and real impact.

You’ll be doing things like:

• Leading procurement projects, including tenders and contract negotiations, for datacenter-related services and equipment
• Creating a supplier portfolio and sourcing strategies that align across our Nordic markets
• Finding group-level synergies and reducing local silos
• Building close relationships with operational teams by visiting sites and understanding their ways of working
• Supporting larger infrastructure projects when needed

Your team and why GlobalConnect?
You’ll be part of a dedicated Technology Procurement team working across markets and closely integrated with our datacenter and infrastructure operations. We’re collaborative, practical, and always looking for smarter ways to do things.

GlobalConnect is growing, and your work will support digital infrastructure that helps both people and businesses thrive across the Nordics. We offer a flexible work setup, but also value time spent close to the operations—especially when it comes to building understanding and trust.

Skills & Requirements
To build the future with us, you should have:

• 7+ years of experience in procurement, ideally in datacenters, telecom, manufacturing, or infrastructure
• Strong commercial negotiation skills, and a willingness to push for better terms
• Solid understanding of datacenter technologies and supplier ecosystems is a big plus—but experience from manufacturing or infrastructure projects is just as relevant
• A procurement mindset with the ability to adapt and move with pace when needed

You don’t need to send a personal letter unless there’s something not included in your CV or LinkedIn that we should know about. Otherwise, just hit apply and let’s talk.
