About the role

Original posting from JustMarkets via Greenhouse

Responsibilities

Manage assigned procurement requests from requirements clarification and supplier sourcing through evaluation, recommendation for approval and contract signing

Run tenders end to end: agree the requirements with the internal customer, build the longlist and shortlist, collect and compare proposals, and recommend the award

Break down and challenge vendor estimates – unit prices, quantities, hours, mark-ups and additional costs, where applicable – and document the savings achieved

Negotiate commercial terms and prepare contracts within the delegation of authority; recommend the vendor choice and escalate anything above own authority level

Own renewals: track expiry dates, open negotiations ahead of time and prevent automatic renewals on unfavourable terms

Benchmark the cost of goods and services against the market and maintain a price reference 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 keep the vendor portfolio and contract terms transparent

Report hard savings and cost avoidance in the format agreed with Finance (like-for-like, confirmed baseline, no double counting)

Work inside the group’s procure-to-pay process and controls: contracting only after vendor onboarding and KYB are complete; payment execution and accounts-payable bookkeeping sit outside this role

Requirements

3+ years of hands-on experience in procurement, including supplier sourcing, commercial negotiations and contract management

Sourcing of goods and services: understanding what the business buys, segmenting vendors and building a sourcing plan

Reading and breaking down vendor estimates: the ability to challenge an estimate line by line

End-to-end tender management: RFI / RFP, evaluation criteria, comparable bid analysis on a like-for-like / total-cost basis

Commercial negotiation and savings discipline: the difference between hard savings and cost avoidance, and how to build a baseline that Finance will confirm

Commercial terms of supplier contracts: scope of work, SLA and service KPIs, rate escalation clauses, renewal and termination terms; working with Legal on the paperwork

Renewals management and market benchmarking of recurring goods and services

Understanding of procure-to-pay controls: delegation of authority, segregation of duties, vendor KYB and master data as a prerequisite for contracting and payment

Understanding of IT equipment and technical specifications, with the ability to clarify requirements and compare supplier proposals

Advanced Excel / Google Sheets for spend analysis and bid comparison

English B2+

Will be a plus

Background in fintech, financial brokerage, or global corporate environments

Track record of spend consolidation across multi-brand or multi-entity organizational structures

Hands-on practice establishing category management workflows or implementing modern e-sourcing tools

Practical understanding of vendor onboarding, KYB compliance, and master data maintenance
