• Lead, mentor, and develop a high-performing procurement team, fostering a culture of ownership and continuous improvement.

• Collaborate with Finance, Legal, and Third-Party Risk teams to ensure governance, compliance, and cross-functional alignment.

• Identify, negotiate, and manage vendor relationships to optimize cost, quality, and service levels.

• Drive vendor consolidation, cost savings, and efficiency initiatives across categories.

• Own procurement processes, policies, and controls; drive automation and process improvements.

• Monitor and optimize cost, delivery, and performance KPIs to ensure operational excellence.

• Prepare and manage Capex and Opex budgets in partnership with Finance.

• Synthesize data and insights into clear, executive-ready updates for senior stakeholders.

• 8+ years of post-qualification, relevant procurement experience, including at least 3+ years in people management roles.

• Strong experience in techno-commercial procurement, contract management, and vendor management, with a proven track record of driving efficiency, value creation, and cost optimization.

• Demonstrated expertise in sourcing and managing categories such as MarTech, SaaS, corporate insurance, global recruitment agencies, and other professional services.

• Exceptional negotiation, communication, stakeholder management, and decision-making capabilities.

• Hands-on experience with ERP and e-sourcing tools such as SAP Ariba, MSD365, Oracle, NetSuite, or ServiceNow.

• Strong analytical skills with proficiency in data-driven decision-making, financial analysis, and cost-saving initiatives.

• MBA or Post Graduate Diploma (PGDBM) with specialization in Supply Chain Management, Logistics, or Operations Management.

• Professional certifications such as CIPS, CPSM, CSCP, or CPP will be an added advantage.
