About the role

  • Define and execute a procurement strategy aligned with our commercial goals, focusing on value creation, cost-efficiency, and compliance across all indirect spend.
  • Lead sourcing, negotiation, and contract management for our key spend categories: SaaS, Professional Services/Contractors (SOWs), and Marketing/PR.
  • Own and optimize our P2P tech stack. You will be the business owner for Omnea, Ramp, and their integration with NetSuite, driving adoption and building frictionless workflows.
  • Establish and scale procurement policies, governance frameworks, and approval workflows that enable the business while managing risk.
  • Build and scale a vendor management framework to ensure performance, manage risk, and drive value from strategic suppliers.
  • Partner with our Security and Legal teams on the Vendor Due Diligence (VDD) process to ensure suppliers meet our security and data standards (e.g., GDPR, ISO 27001).
  • Implement dashboards and analytics to provide visibility into spend, vendor performance, savings, and ROI.
  • Serve as the primary point of contact for procurement matters and evangelise a culture of smart, responsible spending across the business.
  • Act as the primary procurement expert, managing the function end-to-end.

  • Comfortable using data and analytics to guide decisions and measure performance.
