Location: 

ID

Level: 
Employment Status: 
Department:  Group Strategic Sourcing
Description: 

Role Summary

Forget static RFP templates and legacy procurement routines. We are looking for an agile, data-driven IT Strategic Sourcing lead who thrives in modern tech ecosystems. In this role, you won't just negotiate pricing—you’ll actively partner with Engineering, Product, and IT leads to discover, evaluate, and integrate best-in-class software, cloud services, and specialized tech talent.

If you love staying ahead of tech trends, leveraging data automation over manual spreadsheets, and framing vendor relationships as strategic growth drivers rather than transactional costs, this is your playground.

 

Job Responsibilities 

  • Tech Discovery & Market Intelligence: Continuously scan the market for emerging SaaS products, AI platforms, and dev tools to keep our tech stack lean and cutting-edge.

  • Agile Vendor Management: Drive end-to-end partner selection using data-backed evaluations rather than rigid, slow RFP frameworks.

  • Smart Contract & SaaS Optimization: Negotiate dynamic, scalable licensing models (usage-based, consumption, hybrid) across cloud providers (AWS/GCP/Azure) and software vendors.

  • Cross-Functional Partnering: Collaborate closely with DevOps, Product, and Security teams to ensure new tools meet compliance, speed, and technical standards.

  • Spend Analytics & Optimization: Utilize automated spend tools and dashboards to eliminate tool redundancy and optimize modern IT budgets.

  • Tech-Driven Negotiations: Work with tech leads to benchmark software costs, SaaS pricing tiers, and SLA commitments against industry standards.

  • Supplier Relationship Management (SRM): Build dynamic, value-add relationships with key tech suppliers and startups rather than traditional arm's-length vendor management.

  • Continuous Process Innovation: Automate workflow handoffs across procurement, legal, and finance using modern productivity and integration tools.

 

 

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Business, IT, Engineering, Supply Chain Management, or a related field.

  • Minimum 3 years of experience in IT Procurement, Strategic Sourcing, or Vendor Management.

  • Experience in sourcing IT products and services, particularly Software, SaaS, Cloud Services (AWS/GCP/Azure), and VAS.

  • Strong knowledge of IT procurement, software licensing, contract negotiation, and vendor management.

  • Strong analytical skills with experience in cost optimization, spend analysis, and vendor benchmarking.

  • Good communication, negotiation, and stakeholder management skills.

  • Proactive, agile, and collaborative mindset with good command of English.
