🚀 Procurement Manager – Consulting & Professional Services

We're looking for an experienced Procurement Manager to join our international team and take ownership of sourcing and contracting activities across the Consulting & Professional Services category — think Legal, Finance & Taxation, and Management Consulting.

In this role, you won't just run RFPs — you'll build and own supplier relationships, negotiate hourly-rate structures with specialized experts, and become the trusted partner stakeholders turn to across multiple global locations. If you enjoy turning complex, multi-stakeholder sourcing challenges into clear, cost-effective outcomes, this is your next move.

🔧 What you'll do

• Lead sourcing and contracting activities across Consulting & Professional Services, including RFPs, RFQs, competitive evaluations, benchmarking, and negotiations
• Own end-to-end category management, from supplier governance and contract renewals to ongoing relationship management
• Define and maintain a procurement strategy aligned with stakeholder goals, current supplier base, and spend
• Negotiate cost-effective pricing structures, including the hourly-rate models typical of this category
• Identify opportunities across the existing supply base to drive efficiencies and deliver measurable cost savings
• Conduct risk assessments and provide category intelligence, including regular spend and savings reporting
• Coordinate supplier performance reviews and technical discussions between suppliers and internal customers
• Partner closely with Legal, Global Process Owners, and cross-functional teams across time zones
• Manage and resolve escalations within the sourcing and contracting process

🎯 Who we're looking for

• You bring 2+ years of experience in Consulting & Professional Services category management or strategic sourcing, strong negotiation and contract management skills, and fluent English.
• You're comfortable managing stakeholders across time zones and thrive under tight timelines, even when things get ambiguous.
• 7+ years in indirect procurement, EMEA experience, or a certification like CPM, CPIM, or CPSM would make you an even stronger fit.

If you're ready to bring your sourcing expertise to a team that values precision, collaboration, and growth — we'd love to hear from you. 🙌
