Procurement Operations
* Coordinate and prioritise incoming procurement requests.
* Plan, monitor, and manage the pipeline of procurement demands, renewals, and terminations.
* Partner with Accounts Payable to set up new vendors.
* Build strong working relationships with teams across IT, Risk, Compliance, Change, HR, Finance, and Operations to support their procurement needs and ensure processes are followed.
* Develop positive stakeholder relationships across multiple business areas and locations.
* Assist the Head of Vendor Management with RfX projects for high-value or high-risk services.
* Negotiate, draft, and finalise contracts of varying scope and value in collaboration with internal partners.
Procurement Management & Performance
* Help design and refine fit-for-purpose processes and tools.
* Contribute to setting practical strategies and objectives for the procurement function.
* Analyse spend across the organisation to identify savings and cost-avoidance opportunities.
* Provide support for regulatory projects (e.g. DORA).
* Assist with exit strategies and vendor offboarding.
* Develop meaningful reporting and management information to track performance.
Experienced Required
* 3+ years of experience in a procurement function.
* Solid organisational skills, plus at least 2 years of hands-on experience negotiating procurement deals ranging from €5k – €250k.
* Broad procurement knowledge, with the ability to work effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
* Previous involvement in creating standardised processes and tools at a group level is an advantage.
* Experience in insurance or financial services is beneficial, particularly across professional services, IT, HR, Risk, or Finance, though not essential.
* Ability to balance group-wide policies with local needs and support both central and regional teams.
* Strong communication skills, both written and verbal, with confidence in presenting ideas clearly.
* Exposure to continuous improvement and vendor management process development is a plus.
* Even if you don’t tick every single box, we’d love to hear from you — you may bring other qualities that make you a great fit.
