Responsibilities
Manage assigned procurement requests from requirements clarification and supplier sourcing through evaluation, recommendation for approval, and contract signing.
Run tenders end to end by agreeing requirements with internal customers, building longlists and shortlists, collecting and comparing proposals, and recommending awards.
Break down and challenge vendor estimates, including unit prices, quantities, hours, mark-ups, and additional costs where applicable, and document achieved savings.
Negotiate commercial terms and prepare contracts within delegated authority; recommend vendor choices and escalate matters above the role’s authority level.
Own renewals by tracking expiry dates, opening negotiations ahead of time, and preventing automatic renewals on unfavourable terms.
Benchmark the cost of goods and services against the market and maintain price references for recurring purchases.
Coordinate requirements and timelines with internal customers to meet agreed business deadlines.
Consolidate spend across the group’s brands and entities to gain volume leverage, and maintain transparency of the vendor portfolio and contract terms.
Report hard savings and cost avoidance in the format agreed with Finance, using like-for-like comparisons, confirmed baselines, and no double counting.
Follow the group’s procure-to-pay process and controls: contract only after vendor onboarding and KYB are complete; payment execution and accounts-payable bookkeeping are outside this role.
Desired Qualifications
Background in fintech, financial brokerage, or global corporate environments.
Track record of spend consolidation across multi-brand or multi-entity organizational structures.
Hands-on experience establishing category-management workflows or implementing modern e-sourcing tools.
Practical understanding of vendor onboarding, KYB compliance, and master data maintenance.
