Expert Consultant in Procurement – National Financial and Operational Systems

For fifteen years, Genero has supported the public sector with qualified consultants and interim solutions within financial functions. During that time, we have built a reputation as a safe, knowledgeable, and long-term partner – and now we want to grow.

Our expansion is driven by a clear need in the sector: competent accountants who can strengthen public organizations in transition, ensure quality, and contribute to societal benefit. You will be employed by Genero but will work on-site with clients. For some assignments, it is also possible to work as a subcontractor to us.

Assignment Description:

The assignment is divided into two closely related projects.

Project 1: The client is conducting a national procurement of financial systems by establishing a dynamic purchasing system. The dynamic purchasing system for financial systems can be used by municipalities, regions, and their companies.
