Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

I am Pascal Boenig, an operational buyer with almost three years of experience in the manufacturing industry, most recently at LEMKEN GmbH & Co. KG, an internationally active agricultural machinery manufacturer with over 2,000 employees.

In addition to my core role in operational purchasing, I also supported strategic purchasing during peak capacity times at LEMKEN, gaining insights into strategic procurement processes.

I assist manufacturing companies on a short-term basis with personnel bottlenecks in purchasing, such as during parental leave, illness, or peak capacity, as well as with supplier communication and deadline tracking when orders need to be tracked, expedited, or escalated.

I work remotely, am flexible with time zones, and can be deployed at short notice.
