    Description

    Procurement Director - SaaS and Cloud - Scale Up Global Technology Business - London/Hybrid - 100, ,000 + Bonus + Share Options

    I am currently partnering with an exciting scale up technology business, on the look out for a senior leader for their procurement team. This technology platform (the first of its kind) is working with some of the world's biggest brands to help them better understand and manage procurement spend across their tech categories.

    Having recently received successful Series B funding, they are bolstering their procurement team as they extend their service offering - to run procurement projects on behalf of their clients. They are looking for a procurement leader to take their expertise to the next level.

    The role

    As Procurement Director, you will be responsible for designing and rolling out a strategic road map to work with clients and manage all SaaS and Cloud spend on their behalf.

    You will be the lead for all client engagements across tech spend - working with CTOs and CFOs to understand their key requirements, problem areas and working collaboratively to create a procurement focused solution. You will be responsible for a team of procurement managers - ensuring delivery for the client, whilst building a sustainable and best in class procurement service offering.

    As a leader in their procurement department, you will create new tools and processes to ensure better client engagement and satisfaction. In addition, you will be responsible for managing big deals with key cloud and SaaS vendors, helping clients to establish more strategic partnerships and better visibility of their spend portfolio.

    Skills and experience required

    • In depth SaaS and Cloud category knowledge: as the procurement lead for software and cloud client spend, applicants must have in depth tech category knowledge with a track record of negotiating big deals and complex contracts (AWS, SAP, Microsoft etc)
    • Previous experience in a client facing role: working with clients, you will be required to confidently manage multiple procurement projects - keeping the client updated on progress, managing delivery teams and taking a lead role on supplier negotiations. Prior consultancy/project management experience would be an advantage
    • Excellent stakeholder management skills: as the Procurement Director, the successful applicant must have the credibility and gravitas to work with C-Suite level stakeholders - working with decision makers to create procurement strategies but pushing back where required and drawing upon experience to influence final decisions
    • Team management experience: the SaaS procurement team is growing at a rapid rate, the Procurement Director must be a confident manager with a track record of developing teams
    • The ability to make an impact: this hire is a key role within the business, therefore they are looking for someone who can bring a positive energy and dynamism to a fast paced team

    Why should you apply for the role?

    • The opportunity to join a rapidly growing business and play a key role in shaping their service offering
    • The chance to build a top-class procurement team, involved in cutting edge and innovative tech procurement deals
    • Excellent starting salary with a great benefits package including 20% bonus, share options and private healthcare
    • Hybrid working model - 3 days in the office / 2 from home
