    As a Manager Sourcing Delivery for Liberty Procurement Services, your primary responsibility will be to deliver sourcing activities for our customers, which ranges from driving sourcing processes (RFI, RFP, RFQ) to renegotiation of existing contracts and contracting. You are leading sourcing activities at one of our LPS customers (primary for VMO2, but also VMIE). Our ambition is to - over time - have you involved with different customers. The duration at one customer varies from 12 to 24 months. If needed you might be deployed ad hoc on another customer.

    As the Procurement categories LPS gets involved in varies per customer, this creates a dynamic environment for the Sourcing Manager as you can get involved in wide variety of Procurement categories. A Manager Sourcing Delivery could be linked to a specific department at the customer (e.g. Technology, IT, Marketing, Contact Center) for a period of time or the remit could be more fluid and cut across different customer departments simultaneously.

    As Manager Sourcing Delivery you will work closely together with the Sourcing Strategy team. During Sourcing Strategy development this role will provide customer specific input, while during the Delivery stage of the process the Manager Sourcing Delivery will keep the Sourcing Strategy lead informed and align where needed on the negotiation strategy and use their category/supplier insights to increase the result.

    LPS often sets up cross functional teams with representatives from various LPS teams to address for example sales opportunities or supplier innovation. These are phenomenal opportunity for the Manager Sourcing Delivery to get broader (Procurement) experiences.

    As a Manager Sourcing Delivery it is important to deliver your work with high quality, in an efficient matter, on time, while achieving the agreed annual savings targets.

    • Contracting: Bring together the outcome of your tendering process or renegotiations with existing supplier in an agreement. This can vary from putting a Framework agreement in place for new suppliers or Statement of Work for existing suppliers. Drive the contract approval process in our Contract management system.
